Great job! You correctly answered all the questions. Here is an explanation of how to arrive at each answer:
1. The statement that correctly compares how American and African economies were impacted by trade with Europeans is "American and African economies suffered as people were enslaved and their resources were extracted." During the era of European colonization, both American and African economies were negatively affected by the slave trade and the extraction of resources by European powers.
2. The European economies were impacted by trade with Asia in a way that they "grew wealthy and purchased many artistic and luxury goods." European traders, especially those from countries like Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands, accumulated immense wealth through their trade in luxury goods from Asia, such as spices, silk, porcelain, and precious metals.
3. Africa's role in the global economy during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries involved selling resources like gold, ivory, and enslaved people under the control of Portugal. African kingdoms, such as the Kingdom of Kongo, were involved in the slave trade and the export of valuable resources to European powers.
4. The cultural effect of East African trade in the Indian Ocean with South and Southeastern Asian civilizations can be explained by the statement that "trade with Arab and Persian merchants led to the diffusion of Islamic culture in East Africa." The Indian Ocean trade network facilitated cultural exchanges, including the spread of Islamic beliefs and practices through contact with Arab and Persian traders.
5. Swahili city-states were impacted by trade in the Indian Ocean trade network in a way that their art, architecture, and language were influenced by trade with Muslim merchants. The Swahili coast, with its vibrant trading cities, had significant interactions with Muslim merchants, which influenced various aspects of their civilization, including art, architecture, and language.
