The money and goods involved in a marriage are called <u>dowry</u>. The basic purpose of a dowry has been to bring some protection for the wife against violence and abuse by her husband and his family. Also, the dowry may serve to help the new couple to establish a home. This was more common in societies where the marriage of very young people has been arranged. Also, a dowry provides the wife with the resources in case of her man's death.
In the Middle Ages, the dowry had the function to enhance the value of a woman for marriage and increase power and wealth of great families. Dowries virtually disappeared in Europe in the XIX and XX century.

c. A Captive Market
Explanation:
A captive market can be defined as a type of market in which the consumers or potential customers are only able to buy (purchase) what is made available to them due to the limited number of competitive suppliers (wholesalers or suppliers) in the market.

Therefore, a captive market is characterized by oligopoly or monopoly and as a result of this, the price of goods and services are generally higher with minimal choice for the consumers.
Hence, the economic relationship the American Colonies had with England is known as a captive market.
In the 16th century, the American Colonies was typically a captive market for Great Britain as a raw materials such as lumber, rice, fish, or tobacco in exchange for sugar and slaves.
