Okay, had to take a pass on the Buddhism question. Apparently I guessed right on the Hindu question even though I chose a text used by the Hara Krishnas. (At least I spelled it right and didn't call it the "Innagoddada-vida" LOL!)
And, fortunately, I read the thread yesterday on the various versions of the Ten Commandments so I would have gotten it right even if I ended up with 9, 10 or 11.

The King James Bible is such a gargantuan influence on English prose that it has to be taught as Literature in an English class which shouldn't address veracity one way or the other. The rest is up to religious instruction at home.

The rest is up to religious instruction at home.The notion that religion is "private" is based on the enlightenment idea that all religion is subjective rather than objective, and is the product of philosophical speculation rather than objective Divine Revelation. In ancient Israel you may be sure there was absolutely no separation of religion from the state, nor will there be in the Messianic future.
It's one thing to teach the KJV for its language, quite another to teach the "documentary hypothesis" or to tell the captive audience that it's all bunk.

But there is here and now. :-) And it's not the job of any English teacher to debunk the historical veracity of anything.

No, but they'll do it.
