The Great Wall of China isn't just the world's largest military structure; it's also a fascinating architectural masterpiece. The wall
that once protected the country from invading forces is now one of China's most popular tourist attractions, as well as a
significant historical landmark.
When people think about this monument, most imagine a long wall snaking its way across the country. The Great Wall, however,
is not a continuous structure, but rather a large network of several walls and towers constructed over hundreds of years. Work on
the first portion began during the Qin Dynasty in 221 B.C. At this time, several independent kingdoms united to form a larger
nation.

None of these accurately describe a way that the text connects to the
reader's background knowledge.
