THIS QUOTE (When the smoke had cleared away and we could obtain a fair view of the field, it looked, at

the first glance, like a sea of blood. It was not blood itself which gave it this appearance

but the red coats in which the British soldiers were dressed. Straight out before our

position, for about the width of space which we supposed had been occupied by the

British column, the field was entirely covered with prostrate bodies. In some places they

were laying in piles of several, one on the top of the other.")

QUESTION: Why did the writer describe the battlefield as a "a sea of blood".

ANSWER CHOICES

A= Because there were so many red uniformed soldiers lying on the field.

B= Because the river has turned red with the blood of the dead soldiers.

C= Because the sun was rising and it made the area look red.

My guess is that the answer is A.

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
