Answer 1

I took this quiz and the correct answer is b. merchants with common trade interests who joined together and formed associations for their mutual benefit

Answer 2

The correct answer should be c.peddlers who traveled as a group to the same area to sell merchandise together rather than compete with each other

The point of the guilds was to prevent competition and ensure equal quality, so this answer seems to make most sense.
