Original Abbreviated Answer without Full Contextualization
Sample Answer: Harsha Vardhana was a Buddhist ruler in India whose reign lasted from 606
to 647 CE. There were contemporary accounts of his reign by the Indian poet
Bana and the Chinese Buddhist monk Xuan Zang. According to both, Buddhism had
penetrated the region surrounding Thanesar to a considerable degree, despite
the Guptas’ earlier favoring of Hinduism, though Buddhism declined. Harsha’s
kingdom was described as well run, wealthy, and justly administered. It did not
outlive its king by many years, however. Soon after Harsha’s death, the Arab
advance that began in the early part of his reign had become a wave that, in
the early eighth century, swept across northern India.

of the question; list material and/or surviving primary source of evidence that
help us know about the event/development:
Original Abbreviated Answer without Full Contextualization: The Germanic peoples and
the Roman population they conquered were able to create a new society by
blending cultural traditions—a process called acculturation—in three ways. First, conversion to Christianity helped reduce
differences between the two groups. Second, the Christian Church and the Roman
aristocracy offered a useful example of bureaucratic organization and diplomacy
that the successor kingdoms adopted. Finally, the erosion of Roman society
enabled a new society to emerge in the Middle Ages.

Evidence – What Evidence survives about the event/development that is the focus
of the question; list material and/or surviving primary source of evidence that
help us know about the event/development:
Original Abbreviated Answer without Full Contextualization: Many
adopted the practice of Buddhism. Although Yuan rulers incorporated some
elements of Chinese political culture into their governmental organization,
such as the Confucian emphasis on filial piety and the veneration of ancestors,
they also sought to maintain cultural distance from their Chinese subjects by
forbidding them to adopt Mongol dress or learn the Mongol language. They
enforced rigid hierarchies based on ethnicity and capitulation to their rule.
Their four-tiered social structure placed Mongols at the top, followed by
non-Mongol foreigners. Their ethnic Chinese subjects were relegated to
the bottom two categories: those who had submitted to Mongol rule earlier, the
Han Chinese in the north, were ranked higher than those in the south, who held
out longer.
