Answer:

Trade accomplishments

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the author highlights the trade accomplishments of the medieval Islamic caliphate by depicting its capital city: Baghdad. This city was one of the most important political, economic, and cultural centers in the Islamic world during the Middle Ages. It was a thriving city due to the fact that it worked as a remarkable node of trade networks that encompassed from Eastern Asia and the Middle East to North Africa and the Mediterranean Sea. For this reason, the elites of Baghdad built beautiful palaces and mansions of marble, with Chinese vases and silk, gold and silver ornaments got from the Silk Road and from trade with distant markets.
