You're reading about the structure of the Hindu caste system in 20th-century
India. Hindu teachings at the time supported a strict social structure that had
four main castes. The highest caste was Brahmin, the middle castes were
Kshatriya and Vaishya, and the lowest caste was Shudra. People were locked
in the caste they were born into. They could not marry outside of their caste
or have a different caste than their parents. What mental image could you
use to understand this structure?
A. A garden with four plants side by side
B. An elevator moving from the first floor to the second and so on
C. A pyramid with four separate layers
