1. Read the following passage carefully:
1. Though terracotta warriors of Xian district in China are one of the most significant archaeological excavations of the twentieth century. It is believed that Qin Shihuangdi (221-207 BC), considered the first emperor of China, ordered the creation of around 7000 life-size clay soldiers in 201 BC to guard his tomb for eternity. The emperor is believed to have unified China during his reign and hence, this army is also considered to be a commemoration of his victories.
2. The sculptures were discovered by a group of farmers in 1974 to the east of Xi’an in the Shaanxi province. While digging a well, the workers found three pits filled with the lifelike figures, which were made of a type of terracotta clay. Experts say that long ago, Emperor Shihuangdi ordered the creation of the clay army, along with a 20-square-mile tomb to house it. Apart from life-size statues of soldiers and horses, weapons which were found such as swords, spears, battle-axes, shields, crossbows, and arrowheads were found to be sharp, coated with chromium oxide which made them resistant to rust and corrosion even after being buried for more than 2000 years.
3. Shen Maosheng, from the Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, said that archaeologists had located another 11 warriors but had not yet begun to excavate or dig up the sculptures.
4. Today, people from around the world visit China to see these terracotta warriors each of whose figures is individually carved. So they have different hairstyles, expressions, and facial features. Inside the pit, the statues are arranged by military rank which means that the higher the rank, the taller is the statue. As the lower half of each soldier is made of solid clay with the upper half being hollow, the figures remain upright.
5. The discovery of the terracotta army is significant as it helps us to understand the economic and social history of that period along with the military hierarchy that existed during that time.

Concept:
The Terracotta Warriors are a terracotta army consisting of roughly 9,000 warriors, 130 chariots, 520 horses, and 150 cavalry. They are part of a vast burial structure built to protect the ancient Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang (also known as Qin Xi Huangdi) in the afterlife. Local farmers in Lintong County, west of Xi'an, Shaanxi, China, unearthed the statues in 1974, which date from around the late third century BCE. The generals are the tallest. Warriors, chariots, and horses are among the depictions. According to estimates from 2007, the Terracotta Army's three pits carried about 8,000 men, 130 chariots with 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of whom were buried near Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. Officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians, among other non-military terracotta figures, were discovered in additional pits.
