Question

The remaining Greek scholars moved to Jundi Shapur. Jews joined them, as did a group of Christians called Nestorians, who had their own ancient and scholarly traditions. Persians added their voices, and one of their learned doctors set off for what is now India, to gather and translate the wisdom of the Hindus. The school created the very first teaching hospital in the world, a place where the sick were treated and young doctors learned their craft, as well as a fine observatory to track the heavens. At Jundi Shapur the best scholars west of China all gathered to think and study together.

The evidence from the passage that supports the inference that scholars at Jundi Shapur were interested in various disciplines is:

“The school created the very first teaching hospital in the world . . . as well as a fine observatory."

The Sassanid Empire had an intellectual center called Jundi Shapur, where scholars from different places and with different areas of expertise gathered. In the excerpt we are analyzing here, evidence is given that supports the inference that several disciplines were studied at Jundi Shapur:

“The school created the very first teaching hospital in the world . . . as well as a fine observatory."

A hospital, as we know, relies on the study of Medicine, which is clearly and directly connected with biology and anatomy. On the other hand, an observatory relies on astronomical and mathematical studies. As we can see, at Jundi Shapur, various disciplines were explored and developed.
