2. the Almoravid
3. Europeans
4. North African nations
4. North African nations
The correct answer is 1. Arab nations from the Middle East.
To determine the kingdom of Ghana's largest trade partners, we can look at the historical context and trade routes during that time period.
The kingdom of Ghana existed during the 9th to the 13th centuries in the region of West Africa. It was known for its powerful centralized government and its control over trade routes passing through its territory.
1. Arab nations from the Middle East: During this time period, Arab traders from nations such as Egypt and Arabia were engaged in trade, but they were not the largest trade partners of the kingdom of Ghana.
2. The Almoravid: The Almoravids were a Berber dynasty from North Africa. They controlled parts of West Africa, including the Ghana Empire, for a brief period in the 11th century. While they did engage in trade with Ghana, they were not the largest trade partner.
3. Europeans: The Ghana Empire predates the arrival of Europeans to the West African region. Contact between Ghana and Europeans did not occur until much later in history, so it is incorrect to say that Europeans were the largest trade partners of Ghana at that time.
4. North African nations: North African nations such as Morocco and Algeria were indeed major trade partners of the kingdom of Ghana. These nations had established trade routes that connected with the Ghana Empire, allowing for the exchange of goods and resources.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. North African nations were the largest trade partners of the kingdom of Ghana during its existence.
