Question #1: Which of the following best describes the combination of tradition and modernity in the region?
a. a female doctor wearing an hajib
b. a male banker driving a female relative
c. two women praying together in their home
d. a group of men praying together at a mosque
I haven't heard of the word hajib, I know the word hijab. Anyways, I really need help with this one since I'm really confused.
Question #2: How do the monarchies throughout Arabia and Iraq most differ from one another?
a. They have different constitutions
b. They have different elections processes
c. Some have absolute power, and some have limited power
d. Some are family dynasties, and some are trival.
According to what I have studied Saudi Arabia and some other states are absolute monarchies, or states in which the ruler controls the government alone.
Other countries have written constitutions that limit the king's power. These countries are constitutional monarchies. So I think the answer is C.
I'm working on a quiz so I may need help later.
Thank You

I think you are correct on #2. And you observe "hijab" is misspelled in the question. Modernity might be the female physician, while the hijab represents the old/traditional ways.
Since question 1 is about both tradition and modernity, the answer must be A. Women have only been allowed to be doctors recently.
I don't know whether 2 is C or D. The word is probably tribal. Check your text.
This is what the textbook says: "Despite the pull of global culture, tradition still shapes the lives of men and especially women in this region. The most restricted country is Saudi Arabia, where women are forbidden to drive cars or ride bicycle. They cannot legally meet with unrelated men in public.
However, attitudes are changing. In some countries, such as Iraq, women are free to work outside the home. Some can dress as they wish. Even in Saudi Arabia, women are finding ways to pursue careers."
I studied more and I just found the answer to question 1, yay.
I just found the answer to both questions, yay.
For Question #1, the question is asking about the combination of tradition and modernity in the region. To determine the best answer, let's analyze each option:
a. A female doctor wearing a hijab: This option represents the combination of tradition (wearing a hijab, which is a traditional and religiously-observed practice in some regions) and modernity (being a female doctor, which reflects a modern profession).
b. A male banker driving a female relative: This option does not explicitly represent a combination of tradition and modernity. It only depicts a male banker driving a female relative, which does not inherently capture the fusion of tradition and modernity.
c. Two women praying together in their home: This option emphasizes tradition (praying together) but does not necessarily include elements of modernity.
d. A group of men praying together at a mosque: This option signifies tradition (praying together at a mosque), but it does not effectively incorporate elements of modernity.
Based on the analysis, the best answer that combines tradition and modernity would be option a. A female doctor wearing a hijab.
As for Question #2, to determine how the monarchies throughout Arabia and Iraq most differ from each other, we need to evaluate each option:
a. They have different constitutions: This option suggests that the monarchies have different constitutions, which does not necessarily define how they most differ.
b. They have different election processes: This option implies that the monarchies have different election processes, but not all monarchies necessarily have elections.
c. Some have absolute power, and some have limited power: This option highlights a significant difference among monarchies. Some have absolute power, where the ruler controls the government alone, while others have limited power with written constitutions constraining the king's authority.
d. Some are family dynasties, and some are tribal: This option mentions another distinction between monarchies. Some monarchies are based on family dynasties, where power is inherited within a specific family, while others are based on tribal affiliations.
Considering the analysis, the best answer for how the monarchies throughout Arabia and Iraq most differ from one another would be option c. Some have absolute power, and some have limited power.
