Why have scholars questioned whether Marco Polo actually traveled to China?
Answer:
A new study restores the Venetian explorer's honor by offering evidence that he did indeed reach China and Mongolia.
Explanation:
Born around 1254 in the Venetian Republic, Marco Polo headed to Asia with his merchant father at age 17. He would spend the next 24 years exploring distant lands and documenting his observations, which would later be published in a manuscript known as “The Travels of Marco Polo.” By the explorer’s own account, he ventured deep into China and Mongolia, serving for some time in the court of Mongol emperor Kublai Khan. Polo eventually returned to Venice, where he died a wealthy merchant.
As early as the mid-18th century, some people began raising doubts about Marco Polo’s travels, pointing to seemingly glaring omissions in his descriptions of the Far East. In 1995 historian Frances Wood argued in her book “Did Marco Polo Go to China?” that the famous Venetian never made it past the Black Sea. She noted that his travelogue leaves out the Great Wall of China, the practice of binding women’s feet, chopsticks and tea drinking, among other details; furthermore, Chinese documents from Polo’s day make no mention of the explorer and his retinue.

Its various functions also make it an elaborate inclinometer and an analog calculation device capable of working out several kinds of problems in astronomy. Historically used by astronomers it is able to measure the altitude above the horizon of a celestial body, day or night; it can be used to identify stars or planets, to determine local latitude given local time (and vice versa), to survey, or to triangulate.

А
B
C
D
Answer:
A is correct
Explanation:
"From The Handbook of Texas. Haden (or Hayden) Edwards (1771-1849), pioneer settler and land speculator, was born in Stafford County, Virginia, on August 12, 1771, the son of John Edwards. In 1780 the family moved to Bourbon County, Kentucky (at that time part of Virginia), where John Edwards acquired 23,000 acres of land, worked for statehood, and was elected to the United States Senate. Haden was educated for the law but like his father was more interested in land speculation. In 1820 he married Susanna Beall of Maryland, and they moved to the area of Jackson, Mississippi, where he and his brother Benjamin W. Edwards acquired a plantation. He and Susanna eventually had thirteen children. In Mississippi the Edwardses first heard the news of Moses Austin's plans for colonization in Texas. In 1823 Edwards traveled to Mexico City, where he joined Stephen F. Austin, Robert Leftwich, and others in a three-year attempt to persuade various Mexican governments to authorize American settlement in Texas. Because of his wealth Edwards was often called upon to finance Austin. Their efforts resulted in the colonization law of 1824 in Mexico City and of 1825 in Saltillo, which allowed empresarios to introduce settlers to Texas. Edwards suffered more than he profited from his relationship with Austin, at least in his own mind, since he believed that Austin claimed the best lands and tried to push his boundaries in every direction at the expense of other empresarios. Edwards received a grant in the vicinity of Nacogdoches where he could locate 800 families. Like other empresarios he agreed to honor preexisting grants and claims made by Spanish or Mexican officials. Of all empresarios, Edwards probably had the most such claims, some over a century old. [During the threatened armed clash described here], Edwards fled to Louisiana for safety. He returned to Texas during the Texas Revolution and made his home in Nacogdoches until his death, on August 14, 1849. Edwards was the first worshipful master of Milam Lodge No. 2 when it was organized in 1837, a fact that indicates his status in the Anglo leadership. Until his death he was engaged in the land business. [Photo of Mr. & Mrs. Edwards from The Fredonian War in Edward's Colony, 1826-1827 by Guy M. Bryan (Ch. 5 in A Comprehensive History of Texas edited by Dudley Wooten, 1898)"

Why did the Anglo settlers in Texas become concerned about the actions of the Mexican government following the
Fredonian Revolt?
Answer:
As a result of the Fredonian Revolt, the Mexican government began to pay closer attention to the activities of the Texas colonies (which were predominantly made up of Anglo settlers). The Mexican government, in an effort to regain control of the area, began to impose more rules and regulations on the settlers. This concerned the Anglo settlers because up until now they had pretty much been left alone to live and govern as they pleased. They were worried the Mexican government would place more limits on their rights and freedom.
