the ultimate goal of hinduism can be described as (1 point)
rejoining the soul to brahman
being reincarnated

following the four noble truths

Explanation:

1. For the first question, trade - routes facilitated the spread of religions and cultures. Islam spread to Southeast Asia through trade routes over a long - term period. The Black Death was spread via trade routes but the death in Venice is a short - term consequence. Roman conquest of Egypt and the emergence of Therapeutai are not directly long - term effects of trade routes.
2. The goal of Buddhism is enlightenment (nirvana) and relieving suffering. Meditation is a means, giving up everything is a practice for some, and joining Brahman is not a Buddhist goal.
3. In Hinduism, the ultimate goal is to rejoin the soul (atman) with Brahman. Reincarnation is a part of the cycle, living without desire is a practice in some paths, and the Four Noble Truths are of Buddhism.

Answer:

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