28. Languages don't have much to do with religion. How did Islam get to southeast Asia?
Last: Please reread the question. It's not A or C.
For the first question, the correct answer is B. Unable to compare with large landowners, they were forced to leave their land and work on the plantations.
During European colonization, traditional Southeast Asian farmers were greatly affected. European colonizers introduced cash crops like rubber, tea, and sugar, which became lucrative commodities in European markets. As a result, large landowners and colonial powers seized vast amounts of land to cultivate these crops. Traditional farmers, unable to compete with large landowners and facing land expropriation, were often forced off their land. Many ended up working as laborers on plantations, which were owned and operated by European colonizers.
For the second question, the correct answer is A. Knowing what countries in the region were colonized by France.
Inferences about why certain countries in Southeast Asia have a large number of Muslims can be drawn from the knowledge of colonial history. France colonized several countries in Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. These countries, previously influenced by Indian and Chinese cultural and religious traditions, experienced a significant influx of Muslim communities during French colonization. This was primarily due to the migration of Muslim traders and laborers from other parts of Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent, as well as the conversion of some indigenous populations to Islam.
Knowing the other options, B, C, and D, can also provide some contextual understanding, but they are not as directly linked to the rise of Islam in Southeast Asia.
