What evidence from the passage supports the inference that scholars at Jundi Shapur were interested in various disciplines?

C) “The school created the very first teaching hospital in the world . . . as well as a fine observatory.”

Explanation:

Option C is the best option to show that scholars at Jundi Shapur were interested in various disciplines. It shows that the scholars studied anything from medicine to astrology. The ellipses between the two subjects can also indicate that there was more to be studied. Options A, B and D all show a variety at Jundi Shapur, but they show that the scholars came from various backgrounds and cultures. They do not necessarily show that the scholars had interests in a variety of disciplines.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
