increase of nationalism
founding of a unified Arab state

Answer 1

Correct choices:
- increase of nationalism — yes; rising Arab national consciousness fueled pan‑Arabism.
- creation of the Arab League — yes; the League institutionalized cooperation and promoted Arab unity.
- growth of Western influence — yes; colonialism and Western imperialism prompted a reactionary push for Arab unity.

Not correct:
- founding of a unified Arab state — no; that was a goal of pan‑Arabism, not a cause.
- rise in Islamic political unity — no; pan‑Arabism was based on Arab ethnicity/language rather than Islamic political unity.
