For the second question, I would favor c. Foreign investment is also allowed now in other areas. The areas that are conidered Special Zones keep expanding.

For the first question, the correct answer is B: They disliked foreign interference but were influenced by Western ideas.
For the second question, the correct answer is C: To attract foreign investment and technology to China.
For the first question, the correct answer is b. The Nationalists in China disliked foreign interference but were influenced by Western ideas. To get to this answer, you can analyze the provided options and eliminate the ones that do not match the Nationalists' attitude toward reform in China. Option a, wanting foreign powers to retain spheres of influence in China, goes against the Nationalists' desire for independence and sovereignty. Option c, advocating a working-class revolution to defeat imperialist powers, aligns more with the ideology of the Communists rather than the Nationalists. Option d, wanting to isolate China from foreign influence and Western thought, is also not accurate as the Nationalists sought modernization and were influenced by Western ideas. This leaves us with option b as the correct answer.
For the second question, the correct answer is c. The Chinese government created four Special Economic Zones in the Southeast region of China to attract foreign investment and technology. To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the purpose and objectives of creating the Special Economic Zones. Option a, encouraging Chinese people to establish private industries, is not the main goal of the Special Economic Zones, although it may be a result of the foreign investment and technology brought in. Option b, stimulating commercial farming through private industries, is not specifically mentioned as a reason for the creation of the Special Economic Zones. Option d, creating a light industrial region and an area for tourism, may be true to some extent, but the primary objective was to attract foreign investment and technology, making option c the most accurate answer.
