Sometime after the year 2000 B.C., a group of people known as the Aryans invaded parts of modern-day India. They came from an ar

ea of Central Asia near the Caucasus Mountains, moving southeast and eventually taking over the entire Indus Valley. They spoke a language called Sanskrit, which became the basis of many modern South Asian languages. Much of what we know about them today came from sacred writings called the Vedas. The Vedas are mostly religious texts, but they also describe famous victories of the Aryans as they invaded India. The Vedas were also influential in the development of Hinduism, which is one of the world's oldest religions. Based on the information in the passage, which of the following is most likely true? A. People in South Asia were forced to adopt the Aryan culture as their own. B. Aryan culture was only influential in the immediate areas they conquered. C. Much of India's present-day society was based on the Aryan civilization. D. Indian society reached its highest point just after the Aryan invasion.

Answer:

C. Much of India's present-day society was based on the Aryan civilization.

Explanation:

This passage provides us with the information on <u>the Aryan civilization</u>. But not only that: it accounts on its long-term influence as well.

<em>They spoke a language called Sanskrit, which became the basis of many modern South Asian languages.</em>

The author tells us what language the Aryans spoke. But he lets us also know that the <u>Sanskrit language represents the base for modern South Asian language.</u>

<em>The Vedas were also influential in the development of Hinduism, which is one of the world's oldest religions.</em>

The Vedas represent religious Aryan texts and it is also mentioned that they <u>played an important role in the development of Hinduism, which is a major religion in India.</u>

<em>These two sentences illustrate the influence the Aryan civilization had on modern day India</em>, and therefore, support our choice!

Richard M. Nixon, the president who popularized the term “war on drugs,” first used the words in 1971. However, the policies that his administration implemented as part of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 dated to Woodrow Wilson’s presidency and the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act of 1914. This was followed by the creation of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1930.
