What conclusion does this passage best support?
Read the passage carefully.
The geography of ancient China shaped the way the
civilization and culture developed. The large land was
isolated from much of the rest of the world by dry deserts
to the north and west, the Pacific Ocean to the east, and
impassable mountains to the south. This enabled the
Chinese to develop independently from other world
civilizations
