Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.30 Diffusion of Religions and Ideas skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the data display to answer the question. Use the oasis-city evidence panel shown. It shows Buddhist manuscripts, Christian crosses, and Manichaean texts in a Central Asian trade city. Which conclusion best explains this religious diversity?

AEvery religion in the city must have arrived by the same conquering army.

BThe evidence proves trade cities prevented religious ideas from spreading.

CCentral Asian cities had no contact with surrounding regions or travelers.

DTrade cities could become hubs where merchants, missionaries, and translators from different traditions interacted.

Solution & Explanation:A trade city with evidence from multiple traditions is best explained as a crossroads where travelers, merchants, missionaries, translators, and patrons interacted.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the timeline shown. It displays Roman persecution periods, earlier urban Christian communities, the Edict of Milan in 313 CE, and later public church building. Which conclusion is most accurate?

AChristianity had no communities before public church buildings appeared.

BPersecution periods prove Christianity never spread in the Roman Empire.

CImperial toleration changed Christianity's public status, but earlier networks had already spread communities.

DThe Edict of Milan made roads and cities irrelevant to Christian diffusion.

Solution & Explanation:The timeline shows both continuity and change: communities spread earlier through networks, and toleration later made public organization easier.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A claim says, 'Indian religious ideas spread to Southeast Asia because large Indian populations replaced local societies.' Which evidence would most directly challenge that claim?

AA Roman law code describes property rules in Italy.

BLocal languages and customs continued while rulers selectively used Sanskrit titles and temple rituals.

CA Chinese farming manual explains crop rotation in the Yellow River valley.

DA Greek coin shows a ruler's portrait in Bactria.

Solution & Explanation:Continuity in local language and custom alongside selective adoption supports adaptation through contact, not replacement by mass migration.
