One of these is not a social development under colonial rule.
Answer Details
Exploitation is not a social development under colonial rule. Under colonial rule, exploitation was a means for the colonizers to extract resources and labor from the colonized people. This often led to the oppression and marginalization of the colonized people, rather than a social development. Trade relations, the establishment of a common legal system, and the emergence of the press are all social developments that occurred under colonial rule. Trade relations led to the exchange of goods and ideas between different regions and cultures, while the establishment of a common legal system provided a framework for resolving disputes and enforcing laws. The emergence of the press allowed for the dissemination of information and the formation of public opinion.

Answer Details
The Mahdist rebellion against the Egyptian authority was successful due to widespread support. The Mahdist rebellion was a religious and political movement that began in the late 19th century in Sudan. The movement was led by Muhammad Ahmad, who claimed to be the Mahdi or savior of Islam. The Mahdi and his followers were opposed to the Egyptian authorities, who were seen as corrupt and oppressive. One of the main reasons for the success of the Mahdist rebellion was the widespread support it received from the Sudanese people. The Mahdi was able to mobilize large numbers of people by appealing to their religious beliefs and promising to overthrow the Egyptian authorities and establish a just and fair Islamic state. The Mahdi's message resonated with many Sudanese who were unhappy with the Egyptian authorities and saw the Mahdi as a legitimate leader who could bring about positive change. In addition to the support of the people, the Mahdi's forces were also successful in military engagements with the Egyptian authorities. The Mahdi and his followers were able to defeat Egyptian armies in several battles, which further strengthened their position and weakened the authority of the Egyptian government. While the leadership skills of Gordon, the British Governor-General of Sudan, have been questioned in the aftermath of the rebellion, it is important to note that the rebellion was largely a result of popular dissatisfaction with the Egyptian authorities and their policies in Sudan.

Answer Details
The Muslim reform movement has grown due to inspiration from Pakistan, North Africa, and Arab countries. However, Argentina is not typically recognized as a source of inspiration for the Muslim reform movement. Pakistan, North Africa, and Arab countries have all seen significant political and social changes in recent years, which have led to increased interest in reforming traditional interpretations of Islam. These changes have been driven by a variety of factors, including political instability, economic hardship, and social inequality. As a result, many Muslims in these regions have sought new ways to practice their faith and have turned to reform movements as a means of achieving this. In contrast, Argentina is not typically recognized as a source of inspiration for the Muslim reform movement. While there is a small Muslim community in Argentina, it is not a major center of Islamic scholarship or activism. Therefore, it is less likely to be a source of inspiration for the Muslim reform movement compared to Pakistan, North Africa, and Arab countries.
