  • Q6

    Based on the two images, which of the following statements best explains the geographic process that took place as Islam diffused from its hearth?

    Question Image

    Islam is confined to the Middle East because it is an ethnic religion that appeals to only one group of people in one region. 

    The diffusion of Islam has resulted in a cultural landscape in China that has been radically altered to reflect Islamic architecture.

    Islam diffused hierarchically to the west through conquest and to the east through relocation via missionaries along trade routes.

    The diffusion of Islam has had a minimal impact on regions to the west and east of its hearth in the Middle East.

    The universalizing nature of Islam has allowed it to become worldwide in scope and the dominant religion in North America and Europe.

  • Q9

    The sign shown in the image includes an Internet address for the county government. Explain how the sign illustrates the cultural tensions between traditional languages and English.

    Question Image

    English is used for business and commerce on the Internet, while traditional languages such as Gaelic can only be heard in poems and music recordings but not written on the Internet.

    The Internet is produced only in English; as a result, many traditional languages disappear due to the dominance of English-language communication.

    Many countries ban the use of English-language Internet sites in an effort to resist the forces of globalization and protect their traditional languages.

    The Internet spreads the use of English as a global lingua franca, but the Internet is also a place where traditional languages can be communicated and thrive.
