B
keeping your focus exclusively on a single region
C
making judgments based on universal standards
D
looking for global patterns over time and space
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Historians refer to ways of thinking as “habits of mind.” Three habits are particularly helpful in the study of world history. The first habit is to look for global patterns over time and space. This means examining events at different times and in different places to see how they might be connected.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Past Teaches Us About the Present Because history gives us the tools to analyze and explain problems in the past, it positions us to see patterns that might otherwise be invisible in the present – thus providing a crucial perspective for understanding (and solving!) current and future problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -History is the study of change over time, and it covers all aspects of human society. Political, social, economic, scientific, technological, medical, cultural, intellectual, religious and military developments are all part of history.
