which of these are west african kingdoms that had trade networks to the mideast?
○ benin, cote divoire, and zimbabwe
○ ghana, mali, and songhai
○ egypt, ethiopia, and mauritania
○ asia

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Benin and Côte d'Ivoire are West African, but Zimbabwe is in Southern Africa, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Ghana, Mali, and Songhai were major West African kingdoms with extensive trade networks, including with the Mideast (via trans - Saharan trade routes for goods like gold, salt, and also cultural exchanges that connected to Mideast trade systems).
• Option 3: Egypt is in North Africa, Ethiopia in East Africa, and Mauritania is West African but the combination is incorrect as Egypt and Ethiopia are not West African.
• Option 4: Asia is a continent, not a West African kingdom.

Answer:

B. Ghana, Mali, and Songhai
