question 8 of 10
which scenario describes an example of continuity over time?
a. women in early 20th-century england demand the right to vote,
but their government refuses to allow it.
b. american colonists declare independence from great britain and
found an independent country.
c. the chinese imperial system, which ruled for thousands of years,
ends following a 20th-century revolt.
d. an american court rules that racially segregated schools are
illegal under the u.s. constitution.

Explanation:

Continuity over time refers to a persistent practice or system that endures across a long period. Option A describes an unfulfilled demand (not continuity), B and D describe major changes/breaks from prior systems, while Option C explicitly notes a system that lasted for thousands of years before ending, which exemplifies long-term continuity.

Answer:

C. The Chinese imperial system, which ruled for thousands of years, ends following a 20th-century revolt.
