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!

Why was the above passage included in the Bill of Rights?
Strike441 [17]

The correct answer is A. To explain why rights were being reserved for citizens rather than the government.


Indeed, the context of the Bill of Rights was that the articles of Confederation that were used to regulate relations between the states were insufficient as the federal government that was supposed to enforce them was actually weakened by them. The Philadelphia Convention was organized to fix these articles but it was finally decided that they would be replaced with the Constitution. However, the great fear of Anti-Federalists was that such Constitution would give too much power to the President and thus it had to be counterbalanced by strong Individual rights for American Citizens. Thus, this particular Fifth Amendment was intended to establish several constitutional rights and judicial protections for American citizens such as:


- The Right to be judged by a Grand Jury of one’s peers.

- The Infamous crime clause.

- The Double Jeopardy Clause (right not to be tried twice for the same offense).

- The Right not to be forced self-incriminate legally.

- The Due Process Clause (right not to be arrested, prosecuted or incarcerated without valid legal justification and trial).

- The Takings Clause (the right not to be dispossessed of one’s property arbitrarily or without proper monetary compensation).

Mkey [24]
The answer is letter A. Totalitarianism. In this form of government, the president has the complete authority of every sector of the government. Constituents have no individual freedom and only follow to what they are told to do so. To give an example of a totalitarian government, it would be North Korea, which is run by Kim Jong-un
