Explanation:

For the first blank, in the context of African ports during the transatlantic slave trade, the group that would buy weapons and fabric from European slave ships and sell captives in return is likely "merchants" (though since the options aren't fully visible, assuming typical options, the first blank would relate to African traders/merchants). For the second blank, European industries depended on the "raw materials" (like sugar, tobacco, cotton) produced by enslaved people in American colonies. However, since the drop - down options aren't fully provided, we can infer based on historical context: the first role in African ports was often played by African merchants or traders who engaged in the slave trade with European ship owners, and the second was raw materials (or cash crops) from the colonies.

Answer:

(Note: Since the drop - down options are not fully shown, based on historical knowledge, the first blank is likely filled with a term like "merchants" (or relevant African traders) and the second blank with "raw materials" (or cash crops). If we assume common options for the first blank: e.g., if options include "merchants", "farmers", "artisans", the correct is "merchants"; for the second blank, if options include "raw materials", "manufactured goods", "luxury items", the correct is "raw materials".)
