Answer:

To hinder, impede or frustrate someone from achieving a set goal.

Explanation:

Thwart could either be a noun or a verb, the context determines its part of speech when used in a sentence. As a verb, it depicts that a desire could not be realized because it was frustrated by someone or something.

For example:

i. She did all she could to thwart his plans.

This simply means that she after all successfully impeded him from accomplishing his plans.

ii. Paul's aim to achieve a B in his English test was thwarted by his friend.

This makes us to understand that Paul's friend affected his plans to make a B grade in the test.

Ancient objects discovered at Shang dynasty sites include huge bronze containers for food and wine and not many bronze weapons.
kow [346]

Answer:

C. Burial tombs were incomplete without bronze items.

E. The Shang dynasty was fairly stable, and not many wars were fought.

Explanation:

The Shang dynasty (from 16th to 11th century BC) is often referred to as the Chinese Bronze age, because of the great development of bronze objects, including elaborated and ornamented ritualistic vessels used as grave goods for the tombs of nobles.

Also, during this period, the Shang dynasty did not face many wars or conflicts, establishing a stable government in the region of the Yellow River Valley. For that reason, they could focus on the production of ritualistic objects with religious purposes.
