Explanation:

1. Trade routes facilitated the spread of religions. Islam spread to Southeast - Asia through trade routes over time. The Black Death spread via trade but the statement about Venice's population is more about the impact of the disease rather than a long - term cultural effect of trade. Roman conquest of Egypt and the emergence of the Therapeutai sect are not directly related to long - term effects of trade routes.
2. The goal of Buddhism is enlightenment (nirvana) and the relief from suffering through the understanding of the Four Noble Truths and following the Eightfold Path. Giving up everything is an extreme view, meditation is a means, and joining Brahman is related to Hinduism.
3. In Hinduism, the ultimate goal is the reunion of the individual soul (atman) with the universal soul (Brahman), which is moksha. Living without desire is a part of the path, the Four Noble Truths are in Buddhism, and reincarnation is a process on the way to the ultimate goal.

Answer:

1. Islam has a strong presence in Southeast Asia
2. Enlightenment and relieving from suffering
3. Rejoining the soul to Brahman
