The cradle of Chinese civilization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passage specifically states that the "cradle of Chinese civilization" was "the Yellow River valley, where rich soils made a wide variety of crops possible." Option A is incorrect because it describes the Northern Plain's grasslands, which is not the same as the Yellow River valley. Option B is incorrect because the passage mentions rice farms in the Yangtze River swamplands, but it does not say that this is where the cradle of Chinese civilization was located. Option D is partly incorrect - while the cradle did begin along the Yangtze River, it eventually shifted to the Yellow River valley. Option E is also incorrect because it describes a time before the development of the Chinese civilization.
