Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • For question 23, in the Middle - East, rural areas often have agricultural and pastoral activities. Farming and herding are common livelihoods. Farmers cultivate crops and shepherds tend to livestock. Given the options, farmers and shepherds are more likely rural occupations compared to priests (more in religious institutions) and merchants (more in trade - centered urban areas).
  • For question 24, some Muslims who advocate a return to the fundamental teachings of Muhammad can be associated with certain traditional or conservative groups. Among the options, Sunnis and Shi'ites are major denominations, not specifically defined by this concept. "Doctrinal" is not a typical term for this idea, and "Reactionary" can sometimes be used to describe those who want to revert to older, fundamental principles in a religious context.

Answer:

  1. A. farmers, C. shepherds
  2. B. Reactionary
