The correct answer is C, as the capture of Majorca by James I of Aragon was significant to the success of the Reconquista because it was well located for shipping and trade.

The conquest for the Christian kingdoms of the island of Majorca was finally achieved by King James I of Aragon between 1229 and 1231. The city of Madina Mayurqa (now Palma de Mallorca) fell in December of the first year, but the Muslim resistance in the mountains lasted three more. After the conquest, King Jaime I divided the territory among the nobles who accompanied him in the campaign.

The geographical situation of the island allowed an intense trade on a large scale, becoming a meeting point for merchants from several coastal areas of the Mediterranean: Perpignan, Maghreb, Genoa, Granada, Catalonia and Valencia, where a conglomerate formed by Jews, Christians and Muslims transported and sold all kinds of merchandise.

Into what three broad categories do sociologists place societies?

irakobra [83]

Answer: Sociologists place societies in three categories: pre-industrial, industrial and post-industrial.

Explanation: Sociologists, who focus on studying the roles in a society and the social relationships between its members, divide societies in three broad categories: Pre-industrial, Industrial and Post-industrial. The Pre-industrial society is the one that existed before the Industrial Revolution, that is to say before human beings developed machines and other types of technologies. The main activity during the Pre-industrial society was agriculture. On the other hand, the Industrial society emerged due to the Industrial Revolution. Mass production and division of labour were two of the main characteristics of this type of society. Finally, the Post-industrial society appeared in the second half of the 20th century and it is characterized by a shift from an economy that produced goods to an economy that offers services.
