Question

what is something a trader from china most likely acquired in trade?
paper and tea
cinnamon and textiles
tusks and furs
oil and gold

Explanation:

To determine what a Chinese trader most likely acquired, we analyze each option:

• "Paper and Tea": China was a major producer of paper and tea, so these were more likely exported, not acquired.
• "Cinnamon and Textiles": While cinnamon could be acquired, textiles were also produced in China, making this less likely as a primary acquisition.
• "Tusks and Furs": Historically, China traded for items like animal tusks (e.g., ivory) and furs from regions like Central Asia or beyond, as these were not major domestic products.
• "Oil and Gold": Historical trade involving oil (in the modern sense) or large - scale gold acquisition in the context of traditional Chinese trade is less likely compared to the trade of tusks and furs.

Answer:

C. Tusks and Furs
