Which of the following statements reflects the Confucian worldview that figured prominently in classical Chinese culture?
(A) Having faith in God will be rewarded in the afterlife.
(B) Life’s ultimate goal is to escape the suffering inherent in the endless cycle of death and reincarnation.
(C) A life of quiet contemplation and isolation from worldly temptations will result in selfperfection.
(D) Observing rules of proper behavior toward others will ensure social and political harmony.
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
By 1850, the United States had put in place a transportation
network based on roads, canals, and steamboats. This network enabled factories and farms
to get their goods to market much more efficiently and cheaply. Economic expansion
increased the demand for immigrant labor; the plantation economy was also strengthened.
The nation did not, however, become an international military power during this period.
