Question

Which inference does this passage best support?

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World
1.The traders who came up from Italy offered items they had
bought (from) Muslims, which were not available in Europe:
fruits such as oranges, apricots, and figs; dyes such as
cochineal, which produces a rich red; rare fabrics such as
cotton and raw silk. Many of the fabrics that we know of
today came to Europe via the Muslims, and their names
still show their origins: damask from Damascus, muslin
from Mosul, gauzes from Gaza.

A.Traders brought not only sugar but also other valuable
items to Europe,
B.The most popular items for traders to buy were various
fruits and fabrics
C.Most types of cloth are named after where they are from
instead of what they look like.
D.After seeing cloth from other lands, Europeans worked
to produce similar fabrics.

Answer 1

The inference that this passage best support is that Traders brought not only sugar but also other valuable items to Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information in this excerpt from "Sugar Changed the World" by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos shows all the examples of different products to sell that the trades brought from Muslims and were not available in Europe such as several fruits and fabrics that were very popular but not produced in that continent.

Answer 2

Hi!

The answer to your question is option A. Traders brought not only sugar but also other valuable items to Europe,

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage given here supports option A because 90% of the passage given is dedicated to list all the goods that Italian traders brought to Europe from Muslim countries.

Option B is not the right answer because we can't know for sure if fruits and fabrics were indeed the most popular traded goods. Option C is not either becuse the passage only gives one line to explain where the name of certain things came from, and option D is not the answer because we don't know for sure if after seeing these things, Europeans decided to produce similar fabrics.
