Will give brainliest -How did the early Minoans defend themselves? They were protected by ships at sea.
They relied on the gods to defend them.
They were protected by strong fortifications.
They had large armies to defend against invasion.

The correct answer is choice A., "They were protected by ships at sea."

From the pictures gathered, we can tell that there were no walls protecting them. This means that there was no fortifications (1.). C., is 100% wrong. Well, we don't know if they were relying on gods to defend them, since the Minoan civilization was wiped out, completely. Plus, no artifacts show. So, we can infer that it is not B., or C. How about D.? Well, since when did we know that they had large armies? We don't know if they're exactly large. From photographs and artifacts found from many websites, I cannot exactly conclude that they had large armies. And, it seems that they thought that they were so protected that they would not need walls to defend themselves, so what would've made them so confident? Well, armies still need to be defended against invaders, so it doesn't make sense too much that this would be the right answer. So, the only answer left would be A. But, what if this is wrong? Well, from this provided picture (2.), you would change your mind. If you saw tons of these ships docked outside, would you attack? Well, I wouldn't. Plus, these are war ships. This signals that they are ready for an invasion or attack. So, the only reasonable answer would be A., or "They were protected by ships at sea."

the answer is the government.

the caste system in india is the paradigmatic ethnographic example of caste. it has origins in ancient india, and was transformed by various ruling elites in medieval, early-modern, and modern india, especially the mughal empire and the british raj.it is today the basis of educational and job reservations in india.it consists of two different concepts, varna and jati, which may be regarded as different levels of analysis of this system.

the caste system as it exists today is thought to be the result of developments during the collapse of the mughal era and the british colonial regime in india. the collapse of the mughal era saw the rise of powerful men who associated themselves with kings, priests and ascetics, affirming the regal and martial form of the caste ideal, and it also reshaped many apparently casteless social groups into differentiated caste communities.the british raj furthered this development, making rigid caste organisation a central mechanism of administration
