Read this excerpt from "letter to george iii, 1793" by emperor qian long: it may be, o king, that the above proposals have been wantonly made by your ambassador on his own responsibility, or peradventure you yourself are ignorant of our dynastic regulations and had no intention of transgressing them when you expressed these wild ideas and hopes. (these wild ideas and hopes underlined) a. there is no chance that the king will get what he's asking for. b. there is no country that would give the king what he's asking for. c. the king's requests are strange and will require some thought. d. the king's requests are imaginative and show great vision. a. there is no chance that the king will get what he's asking for.

The answer is A.   The Emperor Qian Long wrote this letter in response to king George' proposals. By mentioning that the king's embassador may have presented  them in a thoughtless manner, and the king's lack of knowledge of the dynasty regulations could break them, the Emperor shows no intention in giving the king's requests.

There is no chance that the king will get what he's asking for.
