How is the chinese government trying to prevent democracy from happening in hong kong?

HK should be able to hold directly election on both the parliament and HK leader by now, but CCP continue refuse to go for it.

CCP insist on setting up an election committee that has the absolute power to deny a person/party from joining the election, this is inherently un-democratic People should be able to choose freely who to vote for, the candidates shouldn't need a prior approval from a CCP controlled committee first.

i think the answer is c, rivers.

explanation:

sometimes, borders fall along natural boundaries like rivers or mountain ranges. for example, the boundary between france and spain follows the crest of the pyrenees mountains. for part of its length, the boundary between the united states and mexico follows a river called the rio grande. the borders of four countries divide africa’s lake chad: niger, chad, cameroon, and nigeria.

so the story tells of someone named kaushik choudhuri, but he does not narrate the story, a girl named hema does. hema tells the story in a second person point of view because you (the reader) are supposed to be the boy named kaushik.

here's an excerpt i found: "i was ushered into the fitting room, your mother watching approvingly as i took off my coat and sweater and tried on the bra."
