I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "Translation has served as a school of writing for many authors. Translators, including monks who spread Buddhist texts in East Asia, and the early modern European translators of the Bible, in the course of their work have shaped the very languages into which they have translated. They have acted as bridges for conveying knowledge between cultures; and along with ideas, they have imported from the source languages, into their own languages, loanwords and calques of grammatical structures, idioms and vocabulary."? 

What array concatenated bodies of facts from one civilization to another?
