Use the map to answer the question.
A map shows the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding land, with arrows indicating trade routes across the region. The Mediterranean Sea is labeled, as are Spain, Italy, Greece, Asia Minor, and Africa. A Key titled Trade Routes shows a solid line labeled Imports and a dashed line labeled Exports. The Key also includes a dot labeled Greek city-state. A long dashed line indicating an export trade route begins from a Greek city-state on the western end of Crete. It continues westward across the Mediterranean Sea and passes below Italy, which shows a cluster of Greek city-states in southern Italy and also Sicily, including Syracuse. This export route passes below Corsica and Sardinia on the way to Spain, where it splits and heads towards two unlabeled Greek city-states on the eastern coast. Four other dashed-line export routes leave Crete: one heads north to the heel area of Italy; another leaves Crete from the Greek city-state of Knossos and heads north to a group of city-states in Greece in the area of Corinth and Athens; another heads south to a city-state at the end of the Nile River, just north of the city of Memphis; the fourth heads eastward from a city-state on the eastern end of Crete to the labeled city of Tyre and also Byblos on the eastern coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. Three other Greek city-states are indicated on the African northern coast in the area of present-day Libya. A solid-arrow import route begins in a cluster of city-states on Cyprus, heading westward to an island off Asia Minor and turns south to eastern Crete. More unlabeled Greek city-states are scattered along the southern and western coasts of Asia Minor. Another import route begins at the end of the Nile River and heads north to eastern Crete. A scale shows 400 miles and 400 kilometers.

Based on the given information on the map, we can determine that most Greek city-states and colonies were not former Minoan trading ports. The export trade routes from Crete shown on the map do not indicate a significant number of Greek city-states or colonies in the north. Therefore, the correct statement is: "Most Greek city-states and colonies were not former Minoan trading ports."
To answer this question using the map provided, we need to look for evidence of Minoan trading ports and their connection to Greek city-states and colonies.
On the map, we see several dashed export trade routes leaving Crete, which was a significant Minoan center. These routes connect Crete to various Greek city-states, such as those in southern Italy (including Syracuse), Greece (Corinth and Athens), and the eastern coast of Spain. This suggests that there was a trade relationship between the Minoans and these Greek city-states.
However, it is important to note that the map does not provide specific information about the status of these Greek city-states as former Minoan trading ports. It only indicates their connection through trade routes. Therefore, we cannot conclude that "Most Greek city-states and colonies were former Minoan trading ports" based solely on the information provided by the map.
The correct answer, based on the map, is "Most Greek city-states and colonies were not former Minoan trading ports." We cannot determine the exact distribution or number of Minoan trading ports based on the map alone. The map only shows specific trade routes and their connections, but does not provide a comprehensive overview of all Minoan trading ports.
