b. umbrellas, movable type, and gunpowder
I
C. chewing gum, coins, and stamps
d. paper and fireworks

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Modern chewing gum was first developed in the 1860s when chicle was brought from Mexico by the former President, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, to New York, where he gave it to Thomas Adams for use as a rubber substitute.

The world's first coins appeared around 600 B.C., jingling around in the pockets of the Lydians, a kingdom tied to ancient Greece and located in modern-day Turkey. They featured the stylized head of a lion and were made of electrum, an alloy of gold and silver.

A schoolmaster from England, Sir Rowland Hill invented the adhesive postage stamp in 1837, an act for which he was knighted. Through his efforts, the first stamp in the world was issued in England in 1840. Roland Hill also created the first uniform postage rates that were based on weight rather than size.

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ Chewing \ gum, \ coins, \ and \ stamps}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Tons of exciting and innovative ideas, inventions, and discoveries have been produced by the Chinese. Below is a list with a few:

• Paper
• Compass
• Gunpowder
• Kites
• Porcelain
• Wheelbarrows
• Moveable type for printing
• Umbrellas
• Toothbrush
• Paper money
• Dominoes

From this list we can see that all of the inventions in choice A, B, and D were crafted by the Chinese. That leaves choice C as the correct answer. Chewing gum, coins, and stamps were not Chinese inventions.
