Let’s work through this step by step.

We are given a word bank:
father, family, thousands, region, dynasties, walls, farmers, government

And we need to fill in the blanks in 7 sentences about Ancient China.

---

Sentence 1:
“During the period of time that we refer to as Ancient China, which spans ________ of years, China was ruled by twelve different ________.”

- “spans ________ of years” → likely “thousands” (since ancient civilizations span many centuries)
- “ruled by twelve different ________” → “dynasties” is the correct term for ruling families or eras in Chinese history.

✔ So: thousands, dynasties

---

Sentence 2:
“A dynasty is the rule of a country or region by one ________ over a long period of time.”

- A dynasty is usually ruled by one family (like the Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty — named after ruling families).

✔ So: family

---

Sentence 3:
“Most of the people in Ancient China were peasant ________.”

- Peasant refers to rural workers — so “peasant farmers” makes sense.

✔ So: farmers

---

Sentence 4:
“Every farmer also had to work for the ________ or serve in the Chinese military for one month each year.”

- This sounds like labor service or tax obligation to the state → “government”

✔ So: government

---

Sentence 5:
“Food in Ancient China varied by ________.”

- Different areas have different foods → “region” fits best.

✔ So: region

---

Sentence 6:
“Ancient Chinese cities were surrounded by high ________ that were closed after dark so no one could come in or out.”

- Cities had protective barriers → “walls”

✔ So: walls

---

Sentence 7:
“In the Chinese family, the ________ was in charge.”

- Traditional structure often placed the male head — “father”

✔ So: father

---
