Question

How do the details in the passage support the central idea?

The details describe the important role Muslims played in spreading knowledge throughout the world.
The details clarify the role Jundi Shapur played in spreading the secrets of sugar to the rest of the world.
The details describe how Muslims used knowledge from only the Greeks to make innovations.
The details reveal how important the Koran was in helping Muslims conquer other lands.

Answer 1

"The details describe the important role Muslims played in spreading knowledge throughout the world."

Reason: the supporting details emphasize Muslim scholars, institutions (like translation centers), and transmission networks that preserved, expanded, and shared learning widely. The other choices are too narrow or inaccurate (Jundi Shapur/sugar is specific, Muslims drew on many cultures not only the Greeks, and the Koran aiding conquest is unrelated to the passage’s main focus).
