China's civilization is the oldest continuous civilization in the world. E. In other river valley civilizations, power was in the hands of a single ruler.

Answer 1

The answer is B because they were cut off and so could not trade with others which originally kept their advances and resources to themselves.

Answer 2

The correct answers are B) Natural barriers isolated China from neighboring civilizations and D) China's civilization is the oldest continuous civilization in the world.

The statements that describe how China's early civilization differed from other river valley civilizations are the following: natural barriers isolated China from neighboring civilizations, and China's civilization is the oldest continuous civilization in the world.

Both are the correct answers. China has many geographic and natural barriers that kept it isolated for many years. For instance, the Himalayas, the Yellow River, and the Gobi Desert. It is also true that China's civilization is the oldest continuous civilization in the world. Ancient civilizations such as Summer, ancient Egypt of the Indus Valley civilization ended a long time ago.
