Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

“In this part [of the city of Hangzhou, China] are the ten principal markets, though besides these there are a vast number of others in the different parts of the town. The former are all squares of half a mile to the side, and along their front passes the main street, which is 40 paces in width, and runs straight from end of the city, crossing many bridges of easy and commodious [convenient] approach. At every four miles of its length comes one of those great squares of 2 miles (as we have mention) in compass [i.e. square miles]. So also parallel to this great street, but at the back of the market places, there runs a very large canal, on the bank of which towards the squares are built great houses of stone, in which the merchants from India and other foreign parts store their wares, to be handy for the markets. In each of the squares is held a market three days in the week, frequented by 40,000 or 50,000 persons, who bring thither for sale every possible necessary of life.

– Marco Polo, The Travels of Marco Polo, c. 1300.

Based on the passage, which of the statements concerning the trading city of Hangzhou is most accurate?

A) foreigners were not welcome in Chinese trading cities, because they were considered barbarians and had nothing of value to trade B) many of the people coming to trade in cities in China were Europeans traveling along the Silk Roads C) the invention of “flying cash” made trade easier by enabling Chinese merchants to use paper money instead of cumbersome copper coins D) Chinese imperial governments limited the number of markets in Hangzhou to just a few centrally located areas of the city

Answer:

B)Many of the people coming to trade in cities in China were Europeans traveling along the Silk Roads

Explanation:

Hangzhou was a highly important commercial center for the Chinese economy and was vital to that country's success. As we can see in the text above, the trade was so great that it counted on the presence, even, of foreigners. Many of these foreigners were Europeans who arrived in China via the silk route and aimed to reach this very efficient market. We also cannot ignore the importance of this city for internal trade, since the city was accessible to the Grand Canal.

Methods dictators used after WWI to rise to power

Dictatorships are often unexpected.  They have arisen among prosperous, educated and cultured people who seemed safe from a dictatorship – in Europe, Asia and South America.

Consider Germany, one of the most paradoxical and dramatic cases.

During the late 19th century, it was widely considered to have the best educational system in the world.  If any educational system could inoculate people from barbarism, surely Germany would have led the way.  It had early childhood education -- kindergarten.  Secondary schools emphasized cultural training.  Germans developed modern research universities.  Germans were especially distinguished for their achievements in science – just think of Karl Benz who invented the gasoline-powered automobile, Rudolf Diesel who invented the compression-ignition engine, Heinrich Hertz who proved the existence of electromagnetic waves, Wilhelm Conrad Rőntgen who invented x-rays, Friedrich August Kekulé who developed the theory of chemical structure, Paul Ehrlich who produced the first medicinal treatment for syphilis and, of course, theoretical physicist Albert Einstein.  It’s no wonder so many American scholars went to German universities for their degrees during the 19th century.

After World War I, German university enrollment soared.  By 1931, it reached 120,000 versus a maximum of  73,000 before the war.  Government provided full scholarships for poor students with ability.  As one chronicler reported, a scholarship student “pays no fees at the university, his textbooks are free, and on most purchases which he makes, for clothing, medical treatment, transportation and tickets to theaters and concerts, he receives substantial reductions in price, and a student may get wholesome food sufficient to keep body and soul together.”

While there was some German anti-Semitic agitation during the late 19th century, Germany didn’t seem the most likely place for it to flourish.  Russia, after all, had pogroms – anti-Jewish rioting and persecution – for decades.  Russia’s Bolshevik regime dedicated itself to hatred – Karl Marx’s hatred for the “bourgeoisie” whom he blamed for society’s ills.  Lenin and his successor Stalin pushed that philosophy farther, exterminating the so-called “rich” who came to include peasants with one cow.

valkas [14]
I believe the answer would be the last option. A resource has value, and people are willing to pay for it most likely because the resource is scarce. When a resource is not enough or the supply is low as compared to its demand, then most likely that price or value of it would increase.
