The correct answer would be D., Charles Darwin because he was the on who made major discoveries about evolution.
Assuming you're pro-Columbus day, these are points that can be made:
Being historically accurate, Columbus day should be celebrated because he attempted and was successful at colonizing and helping America grow.
A common argument trying to counter being pro-Columbus day is the mention of killing Native Americans, so you can mention that diseases had already existed and were the primary cause of death in the New Land rather than Natives being killed (keep in mind though that disease and murder were both factors).
Another Pro argument that could be made is the fact that yes, vikings DID find America first, however Columbus helped Americas economy, etc.
Assuming you're anti-Columbus day, these are more points:
What Christopher Columbus did to Native Americans is unjust, essentially he took land from the Natives and they were forced to convert and change their lifestyle in order to work with Columbus or were killed; brutality is unacceptable.
The day itself should be focused on the Native American victims of Columbus.
The vikings technically found the New Land.
I hope this helped a little! :)
Answer:
I believe the question is:
<em>"What were the causes and impact of increased Indian ocean trade in Post-Classical era?"</em>
Explanation:
Some of the causes of the increased Indian ocean trade during the Post-Classical era were<em> the increase volume of trade, the tremendous number of people involved and the various interactions happening from culture to culture.</em> The increase in the volume of trade was mainly due to the in<u>fluence of the Islam religion</u> which allowed the Muslim city-states to participate in the maritime trading. This then increased the items such as <em>gold, ivory and exotic animals</em> coming from southern Africa and the sub-Saharan. Due to new maritime technologies such as the compass and the used of "Junks" <em>(big trading ships</em>), larger cargoes could be transported and this assisted a faster way of trading in bulks. The "astrolabe" <em>(a celestial sphere)</em> was also introduced and this aided the sailors, especially in <em>preventing the</em><em> risks of maritime trade</em>.
