Question

what was an effect of queen hatshepsut’s expanded trade routes?
○ egypt gained access to new resources.
○ the egyptians were able to trade for tools.
○ the egyptians found it harder to acquire resources.
○ the egyptians were able to trade ivory to other countries.

Explanation:

To determine the effect of Queen Hatshepsut’s expanded trade routes, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Expanding trade routes would logically give Egypt access to new resources (e.g., from regions they now trade with), which is a direct effect of increased trade connections.
• Option 2: There's no specific indication that tools were the primary or direct trade good from expanded routes, and this is too narrow.
• Option 3: Expanded trade routes should make acquiring resources easier, not harder, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: Ivory was a resource Egypt had; expanded routes would let them import new resources, not just trade their own ivory (and this is not the main effect of expanding routes).

Answer:

A. Egypt gained access to new resources.
