  Is this question from Brain Honey Online schools? This is the paragraph for part B that I did

  The Great wall of China was built over a large span of time. It began being built in 770BC by ducal states building walls along their borders and the building of the great wall ended with the Qing dynasty in 1911AD. That is over 2,500 years of people building and adding on to the Great Wall. In the end over 50,000 kilometers was built by many different people. The Great wall was built mostly for military defense but parts of it were built to signify unity as well. I Believe the great wall of China has impacted people in many ways, when it was first built it made the people of china feel safe and powerful. Now looking at it we can see the determination and brilliance of the people who created it and it reminds us that with the resources we have now we can do almost anything.

  All the structures on the list have great significance to their country and are architecturally fascinating which gives them visual interest, so I would add the Roman Coliseum and the Hanging Gardens of Babylonia because they fit into both of those categories as well.

  The Year One $14.36 Two thousand years ago, widely diverse cultures in the Roman Empire, Egypt, the Near East, Asia, and the Americas had rich artistic lives and created magnificent works of art. This unusual and beautifully illustrated volume presents more than 140 of these objects, discusses each of the cultures that produced them, and illuminates the connections among them.The book describes Rome in its first days of empire, when public and private art reached an extraordinary level of sophistication, which is evident in the portraits, figure sculpture, wall paintings, silver, glass, and jewelry. The Celts, master metalworkers who lived north of Italy at the time, produced splendid weapons and jeweled ornaments. Egyptian statuettes, funerary masks, and other traditional objects made during this era incorporated both Roman and Hellenistic stylistic elements. In the Near East, a wide range of metal and ceramic objects and stone carvings reflected both ancient traditions and ones learned more recently from Greece and Rome. Indian art of two millennia ago emanated eastern vitality, and Gandhara art from the area of present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan was an astonishing mix of East and West. Elegant bronze vessels and lively terracotta sculptures created in China during the Han dynasty are described, as well as distinctive works from Korea and Japan and impressive weapons, jewelry, and musical instruments of bronze produced by the cultures of Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Lastly, art from different cultures in Central America includes ceramic vessels of great simplicity and beauty, gold face masks, and extraordinary ceramic figures.
