Answer:

1)Pan regional Empire is a nation which influences other nations, actions completely or partially. The term pan regional Empire mean the empires which were spanning diverse regions which was expanded to a larger areas or regions like dynasties of Cholas, Khaljis,Tughluqs and Mughals.
2)The historians face several difficulties in using manuscripts. There was no printing press in those days so scribes copied manuscripts by hand. Manuscript copying is not an easy job. As scribes copied manuscripts, they also introduced small changes—a word here, a sentence there.
3)An ecosystem is a large community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) in a particular area. The living and physical components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Ecosystems are of any size, but usually they are in particular places.
4)Biosphere and lithosphere are two of the four spheres of the Earth. Biosphere includes all living matter including plants and animals while the lithosphere includes a hard and solid outermost layer of the earth; all lands. Hence, this is the key difference between biosphere and lithosphere.
5)In a democracy every citizen is equal. The concept of Universal Adult Franchise is based on equality. Therefore, it is important in a democracy. Under Universal Adult Franchise every adult irrespective of caste, creed, religion, sex etc. has the right to vote.
