Question

what did the mongols avoid doing because they claimed it would anger the gods?
shaving their heads
wearing silk garments
washing their clothes
cooking their meat

Explanation:

To answer this, we recall Mongol cultural and religious practices. Mongols had beliefs about angering the gods. Among the options, cooking meat (specifically boiling, as they preferred other methods) was avoided as they thought it angered the gods. Shaving heads, wearing silk, or washing clothes don't align with this belief as strongly as cooking meat (especially boiling) being avoided.

Answer:

D. cooking their meat
