Explanation:

1. Trade routes facilitated cultural - religious diffusion. Islam spread to Southeast Asia via trade routes, which is a long - term effect. The Black Death was more about disease spread, not a typical long - term cultural - religious effect of trade. The Therapeutai was a local religious sect not directly tied to major trade - route effects. Roman conquest of Egypt was a political event not a long - term trade - route effect.
2. The goal of Buddhism is enlightenment (nirvana) and relief from suffering through the understanding of the Four Noble Truths and following the Eightfold Path.
3. In Hinduism, the ultimate goal is the union of the individual soul (atman) with the universal soul (Brahman).

Answer:

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