Where did China’s first civilization develop?
A.
along the Chang River
B.
on the North China Plain
C.
on the Plateau of Tibet
D.
in the Gobi Desert
The correct answer is B. on the North China Plain.
To arrive at this answer, we can start by ruling out the options that are not historically accurate.
Option A suggests that China's first civilization developed along the Chang River. While the Chang River, also known as the Yangtze River, is one of the major rivers in China, it is not the location where China's first civilization developed.
Option C suggests that China's first civilization developed on the Plateau of Tibet. While Tibet is an important region in Chinese history, it is not where the first civilization in China originated.
Option D suggests that China's first civilization developed in the Gobi Desert. The Gobi Desert is located in present-day Mongolia and parts of China, but it is not the location where China's first civilization developed.
This leaves us with option B, the North China Plain, as the correct answer. The North China Plain is a fertile region located in the eastern part of China and is known as the cradle of Chinese civilization. It has a long history of human settlements, including the development of China's first civilization.
