Which monsoon would a trader rely on to sail from Africa to India ?

Geography

<span>Sometime before 100 B.C., Greek sailors coming from Egypt discovered a shortcut to India.  Much easier and more direct than the arduous overland route, or than hugging the deserted coastlines of Arabia and Persia for 5,000 miles, this route took only weeks to travel.  Sailing straight out into the open waters of the Arabian Sea during the late spring, ships were whisked by the monsoon winds on a steady northeast course, arriving on India’s west coast by mid-summer. It was a daring feat for those first sailors who attempted it.  In a time when ships rarely ventured out of sight of land, and open waters invited the prospect of drifting aimlessly at sea, it took an extraordinarily bold, unlucky, or stupid navigator to sail out into one of the largest bodies of water on the planet.  Fortunately for those first crews who made the attempt, they were saved by one of the great forces of nature: the monsoon.

Analyze the map below and answer the question that follows.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

B. North America and Europe

Explanation:

The world is not equal everywhere when it comes to development. Some regions are much more developed than others, and the differences in some cases are extremely large.

The most developed regions, or rather continents, are Europe and North America. These two continents, in general, are highly industrialized. Gradually the focus has been moving toward the tertiary and quaternary economic sectors. The people have medium to very high standard, depending on the country, and in general they are democratic societies.

This can not be said about other continents, such as Africa and Asia for example. While Asia has some countries that are economic giants, the majority of the countries in it are not, and some are some of the worst places for living in the world. This can also be said for Africa too, just that in Africa there isn't a single highly developed country, but instead all of them are below average, or in terrible conditions.
