Question 2 (2 points)
As used in the reading, what does the word “Jatis” refer to?

The caste system, as it actually works in India is called jati. The term jati appears in almost all Indian languages and is related to the idea of lineage or kinship group. There are perhaps more than 3000 jatis in India and there is no one all-Indian system of ranking them in order of status. Yet in each local area jati ranking exists and is very much related to purity and pollution. Each jati has some unique job, but not everyone in the jati performs it. Thus there are barbers who do not shave, carpenters who do not build, and Brahmins who do not act as priests.

Question 2 options:

The thousands of subcastes in India

Marriage between members of different caste groups

The over complication of the caste system

civilization in Europe, one that flourished from about 3000 to 1100 B. C.E

Evans named it the Minoan civilization, after King Minos (MIY-nuhs), a

mythical ruler of Crete. As Evans dug up the ruins of the palace, he was astonished to find how wealthy and advanced the Minoan culture had been. He uncovered the remains of a sophisticated plumbing system that piped fresh water into the palace. His most striking discovery, however, was a series of frescoes—wall paintings made by applying colors to wet plaster. Some of the frescoes depicted plants and animals. Others showed Cretan men and women dressed in elegant clothes.
