What makes the swahili language a valid example supporting the conclusion that east africa's geographic proximity to the coast affected its culture? a) swahili incorporates the languages of india with bantu b) swahili blends islamic and christian terms c) swahili means "of the coast" d) swahili blends aspects of bantu with arabic

The correct answer is D.

The Swahili language does in fact blend aspects of Bantu with Arabic. Swahili is a Bantu language (a family of languages spoken throughout Sub-Saharan Africa) that have received a strong influence from Arabic, due to the contact with Arabs and to the fact that many Swahili speakers have been Muslims for many centuries. This proximity with Arabic is logical since Swahili is spoken in the Eastern coast of Africa, very near to the Arabic speaking communities of the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. That is why this is an example of how the proximity to the coast affected the culture of East Africa.

for the 2 countries u can do china and america because america has a democratic government while china has a communist government.

a democracy is a government run by the people either by directly voting or indirectly by electing representatives. an oligarchy is a government run by a few or a small group of people. a democracy and oligarchy are similar because both in an oligarchy and an indirect democracy, a small group of induvial determine the laws for a large group of people they are different because in an oligarchy it is easier to control and they do not have to answer to a large number of people in the country, unlike a democracy where they do have to answer to a large number of people an county that is a democracy would be the united states. a country that is an oligarchy would be the china.
