All through the millennia foreigners had entered India in waves of nomadic invaders or as small bands of displaced peoples seeking refuge. They were assimilated into the civilizations they encountered. They converted to the Hindu or Buddhist religion and adopted the culture of the subcontinent. This capacity to absorb peoples moving into the area owed much to both the strength and flexibility of India's civilizations and the fact that they enjoyed a higher level of material culture. Thus there were no fundamental challenges to the existing order. All of this changed with the arrival of the Muslims in the last years of the 7th century A.D. Hinduism was open, tolerant, and inclusive of widely varying forms of religious devotion - from idol worship to meditation - in search of union with the supernatural source of all creation. Islam was doctrinaire, proselytizing, and committed to the exclusive worship of a single, transcendent God. In contrast to the egalitarianism of Islam, which proclaimed all believers equal in the sight of God, Hindu beliefs did much to validate the caste hierarchy, which rested on the acceptance of inborn differences between individuals and groups and the widely varying levels of material wealth, status, and religious purity these differences produced. Thus, where the faith of the invading Muslims was religiously more rigid than that of the absorptive and adaptive Hindus, the caste-based social system of the great majority of the indigenous peoples was much more compartmentalized and closed than those of the Muslim invaders, with their emphasis on mobility and the community of believers.
The passage supports which of the following inferences?
With the coming of the Muslims, the peoples of India encountered for the first time the influx of a civilization as sophisticated as their own.
With the coming of the Muslims India was confronted by a religious system that was in many ways the very opposite of their own.
With the coming of Islam India's civilization for the first time faced fundamental challenges to their existing order.
Indian rulers had persistently failed to unite in the face of aggression from outsiders.
1) The discovery of new lands (was/were) vital to the expansion of the British Empire.
2) The building of tall skyscrapers (has/have) increased in past few years.
