1 Which of the following was not a Chinese invention?
a. printing
b. telescope
c. magnetic compass
Od gunpowder

B. Telescope

Explanation:

The earliest type of printing was called "wood-block printing", which was basically using blocks as stamps to "print" out words. The Chinese invented this around 650 AD.

The Chinese did not invent the first compass, but they did discover iron and its magnetic properties; they then improved on the compass by adding this component and producing the first magnetic compass.

Gunpowder's invention came around 620 AD during China's Tang dynasty; gunpowder and fireworks were actually invented in tandem with each other, I believe.

The only invention the Chinese cannot take credit for is the telescope. This was actually attributed to a Netherlands spectacle-maker named Hans Lippershey.

Thus, the answer is B.

Hope this helps!

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
