Answer:

D). are completely different from one another because while the theologian must be a believer in the tradition they study, the academic historical-critical scholar must be an atheist.

Explanation:

The key difference that exists between the theological study and academic study of religion is that theology lays emphasis on studying the nature of God or other supernatural forces and faith associated to it while academic study focuses upon critically examining a specific religious belief or behavior from an outlander's perspective.

Thus, the theologian is necessarily a believer as he/she aims to understand how the character of transcendental forces(implying they believe it) while 'the academic historical-critical scholar must be an atheist' as then only he would be able to do critical study without any bias.

Answer:

solution must address the larger underlying issues, such as gender inequality.

Explanation:

Harassment of women on the street refers to the situations where women are the target of unwanted attention, comments, touching, and other improper behaviors, usually of a sexual nature. The reasons behind harassment are varied, but according to researchers, they usually lie in the understanding of gender roles, where males (the main harassers) view women merely as objects of sexual gratification, without any regard for how they feel about it, or even without fully acknowleding them as fellow human beings who are capable of feeling the same as them. Thus, in order to solve this problem, a solution must address the larger underlying issues, such as the aforementioned gender inequality. This is primarily a cultural and social issue, so only social intervention can change it, and it can't be duly accepted as natural or inevitable.

It's similar to ours because it contained constants. The alphabet also evolved to the greek standard for their alphabet then they added vowels. Which is a root language to us. You could also find different spellings for the same word just like our alphabet.
