Explanation:

The quote emphasizes Islam's universal nature (Allah as a truly universal God, no feelings about race) and its purification of worship. To determine the author's agreement:

• Option 1: The quote doesn’t discuss economic impact differences, so eliminate.
• Option 2: The quote highlights Islam’s universal/unique worship (purified from pre - existing, like Judaism/Christianity but with universal God), suggesting it expanded by sharing some beliefs with pre - existing religions (e.g., monotheism from Judaism/Christianity) while purifying worship. This aligns.
• Option 3: The quote has no mention of slavery or Africa, so eliminate.
• Option 4: Islam has no priests/clergy (imams are leaders, not priests), unlike Catholicism, so eliminate.

The option (the second option with "was able to expand because of beliefs shared with other pre - existing religions")
