The Mauryan Empire

Question 5 • 2026_SUMMER 305_CR_2109010-M/J World History A

Which statements show evidence that Aśoka’s missionary efforts were successful? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
Hinduism became less popular.
B
Many stupas, or Buddhist shrines, were built.
C
Buddhist missionaries reached Greece and Southeast Asia.
D
Buddhism spread throughout the Indian subcontinent.
E
Buddhism became the only religion allowed in the Mauryan Empire.

Explanation

The construction of many Buddhist stupas shows that Buddhism gained support and left a lasting presence. Buddhist missionaries also traveled as far as Greece and Southeast Asia, and Buddhism spread throughout the Indian subcontinent. Aśoka did not make Buddhism the empire’s only permitted religion, and the choices do not show that Hinduism became less popular.
