The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Trans-Saharan gold and salt trade

The traders were merchants of the North and West African region that traveled in caravans, using the camel to transport people and goods across the dangers of the Sahara Desert. Akan people were involved in the trade, as well as many other tribes.

Of course, they traded salt and gold, which were the most precious resources of the time for the value they represented. Gold was a precious rock with high value, and salt was as important as gold because people used to preserve food. But they also traded animal skins, ivory, silver,  sugar, pepper, and slaves.

These people conducted the trade through camel caravans across the desert, that carried the goods to important trade centers such as Timbuktu and Djenne.

Answer: C. Spurred a period of economic growth and prosperity

Explanation:

The businesses were happy in the 1920s and this made them produce more and drive the economy forward thereby leading to prosperity unlike anything ever seen before.

They were happy because the government was pro-business which meant that they interfered little in the affairs of businesses such that businesses were free to chase profits how they liked. Higher tariffs on foreign goods meant that domestic producers could sell at higher prices and make a profit.

In which story did all the humans turn to clay?
olga2289 [7]
There's no such story that tells "all humans turn to clay". I suppose what you mean is a story that says "humans came from clay". 

The story of the latter actually came from mostly different versions of mythology, the Bible, and Quran. 

According to the Greek mythology, Prometheus created men out of water and earth (water+earth(land)= mud/clay). 
According to Egyptian mythology, their God created humans from clay before putting them into their mother's womb. 
According to Hindu mythology, Parvati, the goddess of fertility, love, and devotion created Ganesh, the Lord of good fortune from clay and turned into flesh and blood. 

The most widely known verse of the Bible says, "the Lord formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathe into his nostrils the breath of life; then man became a living soul". (Genesis 2:7)
And the Muslim's Quran as well says the same thing.
