Answer 1

The statement "American and African economies suffered as people were enslaved and their resources were extracted" correctly compares how American and African economies were impacted by trade with Europeans.

Answer 2

The correct statement is: African and American economies suffered as people were enslaved and their resources were extracted.

Answer 3

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.

To determine the correct statement, we can analyze the options provided one by one:

1. "American and African economies suffered from trade taking place along the Silk Road." - This statement is incorrect because the Silk Road primarily connected Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, not the Americas or Africa.

2. "American and African economies suffered from trade taking place along the Silk Road." - This statement is a repetition of the first option and is also incorrect for the same reasons.

3. "American and African economies suffered as people were enslaved and their resources were extracted." - This statement is correct. When Europeans arrived in the Americas and Africa, they engaged in the transatlantic slave trade and extracted resources from these regions, causing significant harm to the local economies and populations.

4. "African and American economies benefited when the raw materials of their land were processed into new goods." - This statement is incorrect. While some raw materials were processed into new goods, it does not reflect the overall impact of European trade on African and American economies.

5. "African and American economies accumulated wealth through the trade of fur, weapons, and textiles." - This statement is incorrect. While trade did occur in these goods, it does not accurately represent the overall impact on African and American economies, which were more negatively affected by the slave trade and resource extraction.

Therefore, the correct statement is: American and African economies suffered as people were enslaved and their resources were extracted.
