this map shows the grand canal in eastern china. based on the map, which bodies of water are connected by the grand canal? the yellow sea and the east china sea the yangtze river and the east china sea the huang he river and the yangtze river the huang he river and the yellow sea

Explanation:

The Grand Canal in China historically connects major rivers, including the Huang He (Yellow River) and the Yangtze River. Analyzing the options: The first option (Yellow Sea - East China Sea) is incorrect as the canal connects rivers, not these seas directly. The second (Yangtze - East China Sea) is wrong as the canal's main river - river connection is key. The fourth (Huang He - Yellow Sea) is incorrect. The third option (Huang He River and the Yangtze River) matches the canal's function of linking these two major rivers.

Answer:

the Huang He River and the Yangtze River (the third option: the Huang He River and the Yangtze River)
