Answer is A. Between should be replaced. The chair may be the oldest type of furniture, ___________ its importance has varied from time to time and from country to country. A) but when B) until then C) in spite of D) although It may be the oldest.. but may not be the oldest at a particular time as its importance varies from time to time.. and also from country to country.. although fits in perfectly. Most sand dunes are always in motion as wind pushes sand upward one side of each dune, over the top, and down the other side. 'upward on' would be better.

In UK usage both would be right, but depending on the context, eg: We moved up. Tends to imply moving to a higher place. We moved upward(s). Tends to imply moving higher. We moved in an upward direction. Same, but probably not in common use. But: We moved up the hill. Michael
