Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

The Great Wall of China is the longest structure ever built. Its total length is about 7,240 kilometers, and it was erected entirely by hand. Parts of the Great Wall have collapsed through the years. However, much of it remains, and some sections have been restored.

Written records indicate that the Chinese built walls along their borders as early as the 400's B .C . By the time the Ming dynasty began in 1368, many of the walls had fallen into ruin. In response to the growing threat of Mongol attacks, the Ming government began building a major wall in the late 1400's. This wall included most of what remains today. Like earlier ones, it protected China from minor attacks but provided little defense against a major attack.

Through the centuries, much of the Great Wall collapsed. Some of it was deliberately destroyed during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960's. However, in the 1980's, the Chinese government did extensive renovations at the most visited sections. The wall no longer serves the purpose of defense, but it attracts many visitors. Tourists from around the world come to see it.
