Question

Which text features would be most helpful to support the central idea of the passage? Select two options.

a timeline showing when Alexander the Great's power came to an end
a map showing the spread of Islam through much of the ancient world
a timeline showing when Muslim conquerors took over each part of Europe
a map showing how Alexander the Great spread Islam throughout the world
a timeline showing the spread of Muhammad's teachings

Answer 1

Choose:
- a map showing the spread of Islam through much of the ancient world (b)
- a timeline showing the spread of Muhammad's teachings (e)

Why: the map makes the geographic scope and routes of spread clear, and the timeline shows the chronological development of Muhammad’s teachings and how Islam expanded over time. The Alexander options are unrelated or inaccurate.
