Answer 1

-I believe A is correct, but C isn't because a majority of the Great Wall was built during the Ming Dynasty.

"Originally conceived by Emperor Qin Shi Huang (c. 259-210 B.C.) in the third century B.C. as a means of preventing incursions from barbarian nomads into the Chinese Empire, the wall is one of the most extensive construction projects ever completed. The best-known and best-preserved section of the Great Wall was built in the 14th through 17th centuries A.D., during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). Though the Great Wall never effectively prevented invaders from entering China, it came to function more as a psychological barrier between Chinese civilization and the world, and remains a powerful symbol of the country’s enduring strength."

-D is also correct.

"Just 45 miles northwest of Beijing sits the longest man-made structure in the world, the Great Wall of China, a symbol of ancient civilizations that still stands. The 5,500 miles of wall consists of trenches, hills and rivers built by dynasties beginning in 476 BC to defend against nomadic tribes from the north."
