Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Muslims believe in one God, Allah. The word Islam implies peace. In the sixth century AD, the prophet Muhammad founded Islam in Arabia. Followers of Islam are called Muslims. Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) founded Buddhism in the sixth century BC in India. Christianity is based on a belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Orthodox Jews follow the traditional faith and strictly adhere to rituals. Jews believe in God but do not have a belief in Christ. A nurse should avoid making references to heaven or Jesus. Jewish clergy are called rabbis. The holy books of the Jews are the Torah and the Talmud.
