Discussion
A Huge majority - 84 percent - of the population identifies as Hindu. There are many variations of Hinduism, and four predominant sects - Shaiva, Vaishnava, Shakteya and Smarta. About 13 percent of Indians are Muslim, making it one of the largest Islamic nations in the world. Christians and Sikhs make up a small percentage of the population, and there are even fewer Buddhists and Jains.
The passage best supports the statement that:
Answer: D
Correct answer: India is a country where diversity in religion still exists .
The passage is a religious census in miniature: 84 percent Hindu across four predominant sects, about 13 percent Muslim, then Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains in smaller numbers. Listing that many communities, and the internal variety of the largest, is a demonstration of religious diversity. The options about language and about birthplaces raise matters the passage never mentions.
