Sometime after the year 2000 b. c., a group of people known as the aryans invaded parts of
modern-day india. they came from an area of central asia near the caucasus mountains, moving
southeast and eventually taking over the entire indus valley. they spoke a language called sanskrit,
which became the basis of many modern south asian languages. much of what we know about them
today came from sacred writings called the vedas. the vedas are mostly religious texts, but they also
describe famous victories of the aryans as they invaded india. the vedas were also influential in the
development of hinduism, which is one of the world's oldest religions.
based on the information in the passage, which of the following is most likely true?

The answer is "Much of India's present-day society was based on the Aryan civilization."

Explanation:

The influence of the Aryan culture on Indian culture is profound because it influenced both the major belief system in Indian society and the language. Due to Aryan influence, Indian society adopted Hinduism and began communicating and administrating their society using Sanskrit. The basis of Hinduism is centered in ancient sacred texts called the Vedas that it is believed were crafted by the Aryan culture. Archaeologist believe that Vedic Civilization was based in  the northwestern parts of the Indian subcontinent. It spread to the Ganges Plain in around 1200 BCE  to the Ganges Plain, a fertile land irrigated by the Ganges River. This would be expansion into what is now northern and eastern India, as well as the eastern regions of Pakistan, and most of modern day Bangladesh. Although there are different theories, many scholars believe that Vedic Civilization was a hybrid culture of Indo-Aryan and Indus Valley cultures.
