According to the passage, what is the oldest known civilization of India? Comparable to the decline of the great Mayan culture, the fall of the ancient Indus Valley people yields interesting information about their daily lives. It seems that this civilization is the oldest recorded civilization in India, yet many of their practices seem advanced.

The cause of their sudden demise is a mystery.
The word stupefied, as used in the passage, most nearly means . One would not think that evidence of the existence of European people 2,000 years ago could be found in China, but Victor Mair might beg to differ.

What he found on the Tarim mummies were signs of blond hair and long noses. In 1993, after the mummies had been placed in a museum, Mair returned to take DNA samples from the specimens. The test results on these samples confirmed what Mair had suspected: the genes were most certainly European.

From this passage, the reader can infer that the Voynich Manuscript is believed to have originated around . When is a book unreadable? Well, when nobody knows the language in which it is written, this might be the case. In 1912, the Voynich Manuscript was found at a library in Rome.

Various experts are now claiming to be able to decode a few words within this mysterious text.
Question 89 of 135What is the main idea of this paragraph? Jeans from gold miners?

Then, with the Hollywood Western craze of the 1930s, the popularity of jeans grew, as everyone wanted to look like a movie star. Since the 1990s, jeans have been worn by nearly everyone, from child to professional.

Instead of lifting something heavy a short distance, we can more easily push it over a longer distance but to the same height. The term inclined plane can be used to describe an escalator, staircase, or slide.
The word immune , as used in the passage, most nearly means . Too much exposure to the sun can damage not only your skin, but also other parts of your body. Everyone is exposed to some sunlight during daily activities. Being in the sun too much can burn the skin and cause skin cancer and premature aging. Many people do not know, however, that overexposure to the sun can also contribute to cataract formation, allergies, and immune system damage. Young people are the most at risk since 50% of one’s sun exposure is accomplished by age 18. Older folks also need to be careful and monitor their sun exposure.
The author of this passage would agree that . Many Americans do not exercise at all and this lack of movement may be caused by lack of accurate information. There are those who think that they must be active for a long period of time each day. While more exercise is better, the minimum recommendation is only 30 minutes per day and you can split that into several shorter periods. Others think that they need a gym membership to get “proper” exercise. Actually, various activities can provide the needed movement, including gardening, walking, and dancing, if you move enough while doing them. There is a great deal of misinformation about exercise in magazines and on TV. Even friends can misrepresent what is actually needed to stay in shape.
