Answer:
A. The physical characteristics of California.
Explanation:
Glenn D. Bradley's "The Story of the Pony Express" details the history of the Pony Express and how it was an important part of the Civil War, especially for the Union. The book is a collection of short stories regarding the remarkable mail service during the war.
The two excerpts from the first chapter of the book talk about the physical characteristics of California. The first excerpt mentioned how the <em>"Pacific Coast ... situated at a distance of nearly two thousand miles from the Missouri River ... comprised trackless plains, almost impenetrable ranges of snow-capped mountains, and parched alkali deserts."</em> Likewise, the second excerpt talked of California as <em>"the jewel of the Pacific"</em>, possessing <em>"great natural wealth and unsurpassed climate and fertility"</em>.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

The Indian social system was influenced by the concept of varna.[2] Varna is not caste and caste is not Varna. This is a critical difference not understood by many. It directly linked religious belief and the segregation of society into status groups. Weber goes on to describe the Varna system (the Brahmins - priests, the Kshatriyas - warriors, the Vaishyas - merchants, the Shudras - laborers and the untouchables).
Weber pays special attention to Brahmins and considers why they occupied the highest place in Indian society for many centuries. With regards to the concept of dharma he concludes that the Indian ethical pluralism is very different both from the universal ethic of Confucianism and Christianity. He notes that the varna system prevented the development of urban status groups.<span>[3]</span>
