Answer:

d

Explanation:

Answer:

B I’m not sure if I’m right though .

Explanation:

I think the answer is B because when the passage is telling you these dates, you can tell that it’s from a long time ago and it explains how they treated illnesses. It can’t be A because although acupuncture was brought over to the Western World, it doesn’t impact the central idea. It can’t be B because it’s not necessarily generally accepted and recognized. It was recognized back then but it became popular, died down, and became popular again . It was also a Chinese tradition so not many people knew about it . It can’t be D because the last paragraph of the story states that when it comes to deciding between western medical treatment and traditional Chinese, many people choose both . It also states how two men will be better meaning two groups working together is better .
