Question

Why was the increase in the use of sea routes important to trade?

A. it allowed larger goods to be transported
B. it meant that people could stop trading over land
C. it decreased the need for camels
D. it increased the need for shipbuilders

Answer 1

A. to me is the best Answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about it, large goods would be very difficult to transport over land and turn out to be too costly and not worth it. Large goods in great quantity could be sent overseas by boat with relative ease.

Answer 2

A. It allowed larger goods to be transported.

Step-by-step explanation:

It also made it faster to transport, as land would take either longer periods of time or many merchants, increasing the prices of goods. Many countries and empires would go to war to try to take over sea routes.
