Question

1/10
what was one consequence of goods being exchanged repeatedly along the route?
weights and measures stayed exactly the same
goods became more expensive over time
quality always improved after each trade
prices decreased with each exchange

Explanation:

When goods are exchanged repeatedly along a trade route, each time they are traded, middlemen or traders may add their costs (like transportation, storage, profit margins) which leads to an increase in the price of the goods over time. Option A is incorrect as weights/measures wouldn't stay exactly same due to different regions' standards. Option C is incorrect as quality doesn't always improve (could be damaged or diluted). Option D is incorrect as repeated exchange with added costs would increase, not decrease, prices. So the correct consequence is goods becoming more expensive over time.

Answer:

B. Goods became more expensive over time
