To me this means that you can be or do anything you set your mind to.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not include any text, book, or reference of these lines. You neither included the options for this question.
However, doing some deep research trying to help you, we found that you are referring to the book titled "The Story of My Life," written by Helen Keller.
So knowing that valuable information, we can say the following.
What Helen is comparing herself to is with the moment in her life where she had no clue about what to do with her path. She said that those moments were like she advanced without a compass, having no clue at all where "the harbor was."
The exact words she used in her text are: <em>"I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbor was."</em>
That is why she thinks that her education was essential to fiend her way, Her education gave her knowledge, and most importantly, it gave her direction.

The correct answer is A. In the Middle Ages, spices that are now ordinary were rare imports from faraway places.
Explanation
The excerpt talks about traders who traded in black pepper grown in southwestern India, which meant too long a journey to bring these products to Europe. In the first place they had to be transported to Arabia, and from there to Syria where European merchants acquired it to take it to the different kingdoms of Europe as the author mentions when saying that "From India the pepper was shipped across to Arabia, where camel caravans would carry it all the way to Syria. The Italians could purchase enough pepper in Syria to carry with them to the next Champagne fair". According to the above, the correct answer is A. In the Middle Ages, spices that are now ordinary were rare imports from faraway places.
