This following text is for questions 16

The Great Wall of China is the largest and the longest wall to have ever built by humans. Several
walls were being built from as early as the 7th century BC by ancient Chinese states; selective
stretches were later joined together by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC), the first Emperorof China.
Little of the Qin wall remains. Later on, many successive dynasties have built and maintained
multiple stretches of border walls. The most well-known sections of the wall were built by the
Ming dynasty (1368–1644)

Collectively, the Great Wall stretches from Dandong in the east to Lop Lake in the west. The
construction materials were mainly earth, wood, stones, sand, and bricks, used depending on
construction era and construction site with different climate and local materials. Its average
height ranges from 6 to 7 meters and the tallest part reaches around 14 meters. A
comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that the
walls built by the Ming dynasty measure 8,850 km. This is made up of 6,259 km sections of actual
wall, 359 km of trenches and 2,232 km of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers. The
entire wall with all of its branches measures out to be 21,196 km.
