Explanation:

For question 46, "walls intended to defend the city" is the most grammatically - correct and clear option. For 47, "tall. They" correctly separates two independent clauses with a period and starts the next sentence with a capitalized pronoun. For 48, "It's" is a contraction of "It is" which is appropriate here. For 49, "Wall, which" creates a non - restrictive relative clause that provides additional information about the Aurelian Wall. For 50, "much sturdier than" is the correct comparative form. For 51, placing the underlined portion after "Rome" makes it clear that Rome was the entity that expanded.
