    Correct Answer
    A. A simpler version of the vedas
    Explanation
    Smritis are a simpler version of the Vedas. The Vedas are ancient Hindu scriptures that contain hymns, rituals, and philosophical teachings. However, the language and content of the Vedas can be complex and difficult to understand for the general population. Smritis, on the other hand, are texts that provide a simplified and practical interpretation of the Vedas. They serve as a guide for individuals to understand and follow the teachings of the Vedas in their daily lives. Smritis are considered authoritative and are widely studied and followed by Hindus.

    Correct Answer
    A. The soul moves on to another body
    Explanation
    According to Hindu beliefs, when Hindus die, their souls move on to another body. This concept is known as reincarnation or rebirth. The specific body that the soul is reborn into is determined by the individual's karma, which is the accumulation of their actions and deeds in previous lives. If a person has accumulated good karma, they may be reborn into a better life or higher social status. Conversely, if a person has accumulated bad karma, they may be reborn into a lower life form or face challenges in their next life. This cycle of birth, death, and rebirth continues until the soul achieves liberation or moksha from the cycle of reincarnation.
