Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The format for options B, C, and A is as follows: World/Novels Typical of that specific universe/book. Because border-crossing is not a feature of postcolonial fiction, Option D stands out from the rest.
The sentence suggests that the books of Indian Ocean were "full of movement, border-crossing and south-south interconnection" and were "outward-looking." They also highlighted aspects of the global south, such as forced migration and slavery. As a result, A and C present relevant aspects of the Indian Ocean Novels World.
On the other hand, postcolonial novels were usually land-focused, inward-looking, and [concerning] national issues. They had nationalism against colonialism. Because of this, choice A is thus an appropriate Theme:Characteristic pairing.
It should be noted, nevertheless, that border-crossing is a feature of the Indian Ocean fiction universe rather than the Postcolonial one. Option B is the odd one out because it isn't a valid combination. 
Therefore, the odd pair is option (D): postcolonial novels: Border-crossing.

Answer 2

The statement states that books from the Indian Ocean and mainstream English-language fiction are distinct from one another and take place in distinct universes. 
If true, Option B supports the passage's assertion. If accurate, none of the other statements strengthen the passage's argument.
If the Orientalist perception of Africa's cultural coarseness drives the majority of Indian Ocean novels' depictions of the continent, then these works of fiction would be identical to mainstream English-language literature. If accurate, option C thereby undermines the passage's assertion. 
According to the text, American and European metropolitan centers have historically served as the backdrop for the majority of mainstream English-language books. If accurate, Option D undermines the passage's assertion. 
The passage claims that the portrayal of Africa in the Indian Ocean novels is not idealized. And if Option A is accurate,
Therefore, the correct option is (B): most mainstream English-language novels have historically privileged the Christian, white, male experience of travel and adventure.

Answer 3

The chapter makes no mention of or suggests anything about the migration networks that linked the global north and south over the Indian Ocean region. It is not true that Option D. 
Option C is accurate.Because it was easier to travel by sea than by land for a large portion of history, port cities located far apart were frequently more easily connected to one another than they were to much closer interior communities.
Also true is option A. As stated in the paragraph, the Indian Ocean world makes reference to a distinct set of histories and geographical areas than those seen most frequently in English-language fiction, which 'assume a background of Christianity and whiteness, and cite places like Paris and New York'. A predominantly Islamic space can be found in the networked cities of the global south.
Option D is accurate as well. "Migration is often a matter of force; travel is portrayed as abandonment rather than adventure, freedoms are kept from women, and slavery is rife," the paragraph says in reference to migration in the Indian Ocean region. 
Therefore, decision D is the right response.

Answer 4

The passage refers to the "Indian Ocean world" as the interconnected oceanic region of the global south, which includes East Africa, the coasts of the Arab world, South and East Asia, and other regions. These linkages are long-lasting and are made possible by maritime traffic in the Indian Ocean. According to the passage, white Europeans were not the only ones involved in early international trade and commerce; the global south was also the first hub of globalization ("historical and archaeological evidence suggests that what we now call globalisation first appeared in the Indian Ocean") and "Those [commonly found ones] are mostly centered in Europe or the US, assume a background of Christianity and whiteness, and mention places like Paris and New York." 
Instead, a basically Islamic space is highlighted in the novels in [my] book. Thus, choices A, C, and D are accurate. 

The verse says the opposite of what Option B says.
