Read the text and answer the questions according to it.
In the year 221 BC, the first great emperor of China united the nation. He called himself Qin Shi Huang. He was a tireless ruler, but he trusted no one. Qin created a new capital city for China. Qin made thousands of his citizens work on his special projects. His most famous project is still visible today. He began to build the 5500-mile-long Great Wall of China. He even ordered the destruction of most of the books in the kingdom. Many scholars buried their books to save them. However, if the king’s servants found the buried or hidden books, the owners were killed. One of the emperor’s most secret projects was discovered in modern China. In 1974, a farmer accidentally fell into an underground tomb where he found an entire army standing in order. The army was made of terracotta, a kind of clay. The emperor had more than 8,000 of these clay figures in his tomb. Surprisingly, scientists believe that there are even more of these clay figures
that have yet to be discovered.
