Answer:
1. The main argument made about Indian Ocean ports is that they serve people from different parts of the world.
2. Their accommodation of different religions
3. Diffusion of religion is one similarity between the regions described in the passage and the Silk Roads.
Explanation:
From the passage, the narrator goes on to show that the Indian ports of Hormuz and Calicut served people from different Asian and Arabic countries around the globe. When he arrived at Calicut, he noted the cohabitation of Muslims and Hindus. Their tolerance of each other must have facilitated trade.
Just like the Silk Roads which served merchants from different parts of the world, thus leading to a diffusion of many aspects of culture, the Indian ports also provided the same advantage.
Answer:
This economic scenario will <em>increase the sales for the fashion brand's line of evening wear.</em>
Explanation:
An economic boom occurs when the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country increases. <u><em>The GDP refers to the total or sum of all market values of products and services in a country for a particular time.</em></u> The value measures the country's economic activity for that period.
At this time, businesses are very interested in <em>investing.</em> They also <u><em>increase their production</em></u>, which, in turn, affects the income of families. Once the production increases, the sales also increases because families are able to afford the items or services.
In the situation above, the fashion brand will most likely increase the sales because many people have the buying power for evening wears. People will be able to afford it because they have good income.
