I would say that the correct answers are definitely 1 and 3.
The first option is correct because indeed powerful merchant families ruled these republics - this was the case especially in Venice, for example.
The third option is correct because most of the trade and crafting goods occurred in Italy, during Renaissance.
Two is incorrect because it was just the beginning of Renaissance so of course you cannot expect everything to be orderly then. Four is incorrect because the overall quality of goods was very good.
It would be 3) Hessians fighting for German control of the colonies
Nearly the the whole Hessians force was captured
Hope this helps!! :D
This is really hard to estimate, as it's not exactly perfectly clear which parts of economy are tourism (which of the transportations? are museums tourism or education?) and we have only estimates. Some of the estimates I have seen judge tourism to be only 6th ot 7th industry (but none of the options propose this!), but others say that it's third, so I'd go with a) - but definitely not c) or b). First is still food (agriculture, farming, etc)<span />
