Which of the following represents a difference between Hinduism and Buddhism? A. The belief that social roles are determined by birth
B. The belief that nonviolence is essential to living a moral life
C. The belief in that moral actions lead to good results
D. The belief that the soul is reborn after death

A. The belief that social roles are determined by birth.

Explanation:

The two religious beliefs of Hinduism and Buddhism are two of the most prominent and important religions originating from India. These two religions also have similarities in their belief systems but also some differences.

While the two are similar in their belief in nonviolence, karma, dharma, and reincarnation, their difference lies in the belief of caste or social roles. Hindus believe in the caste system, where a person's social status is determined by birth. This means that a person who is poor will remain poor and his/ her children will also be poor. This belief in the determination of social roles from one's birth is not supported by Buddhism, rather, they believe that one's social roles have nothing to do with one's birth. For Buddhists, one's evil deeds are judged based on the severity of the sin, not based on one's status.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
