the ______ was the ruler of the tribes of the vedic civilization.
options: varna, brahmin, gramani

Explanation:

First Question (The ____ were priests and spiritual teachers.)

In the Vedic social structure, Brahmins were the priestly class responsible for religious rituals and spiritual teaching. Vaishya were merchants, Kshatriya were warriors, and Rajan was a king/ruler. So the correct option is Brahmins.

Vedic society was patriarchal, and the oldest male in the household held the position of head, responsible for family and household matters. The youngest male/female or oldest female did not hold this role.

In Vedic civilization, the Gramani was the ruler of the tribe (grama). Varna refers to the social class system, and Brahmin was the priestly class, not a tribal ruler.

Answer:

B. Brahmin
