Answer:
D
Explanation:
Looking at the map, let's see if we can eliminate any of the answer choices.
A) "The Mongols captured most of the major countries in Europe."
Well, this is a map that shows Asian countries, not European countries, so we can't say anything about whether the Mongols captured the European countries or not. This is wrong.
B) "The Chagatai Khanate was more powerful than the Khanate of the Great Khan."
The peach-pink colour on the map represents the Chagatai Khanate empire, while the purple is the Khanate of the Great Khan. We can see that the purple area is much bigger than the peach-pink, so we can infer that actually the Great Khan was more powerful. B is wrong.
C) "The Mongols faced military defeats in Russia that limited their empire there."
Look at the expansion of the yellow area, which is the Golden Horde Khanate. It's stretching into Russia, and we can tell because it's very close to Moscow, the capital of Russia. So C is wrong.
D) "The Golden Horde Khanate did not have much exposure to trade along the Silk Road."
The Silk Road is represented by the red line, and we can see that it doesn't go through the yellow region (the Golden Horde Khanate) at all. Thus, we can infer that the Golden Horde Khanate didn't have much exposure to the Silk Road.
The answer is D.

In the novel Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala Markandaya, water is a symbol that moves and ends all other symbols. Water through the rain affects the yields of the rice, also, it can come in the form of monsoon to come unexpectedly and also to go, and never can say with certainty when the rain will come and go on a daily basis. Water as a symbol fits perfectly into the type of Hindu religion, which has cyclicality, a circular flow between life and death. The water is present when Nathan dies, the rain that floods the flames on the temple, reminds that no force can resist inevitable death. Also, water is compared with a woman, if nature is dry, it is like a infertile woman, if too immoral is used, then nature is too "mature", so water must be used moderately, or there are dangerous consequences. The relationship between woman and water is also given through the river, it gives life in a moderate form, because the fields are more fertile and have a high yield, but also take life in unhealthy spills and floods. So water can mean an ascent or a fall if it is not used moderately, too much or too little use is not good. Thus, water symbolizes fertility or infertility, life or death, just as the point of the Hindu religion is the circulation of life and death.
