The statement that most accurately describes the practices of people who took part in the Oracle Bone ritual is "They believed in worshipping their ancestors."

During the Shang Dynasty, people used to participate in a ritual called the Oracle Bone. We are talking about 1600 to 1046 BCE. This ritual was used for divination and as a way to worship the ancestors. The bones were shoulder blades of oxen. The fortune-teller carved signs on the bones, put the bone on fire until it broke it and interpreted what it saw.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
