Answer:
Dear Smith Family,
During the pandemic, I wasn't able to do fun things like going to the cinema or go to my friends birthday parties. All I could do was watch tv, clean the house , going to do online school and playing video games. I wish you and your family the best and stay strong.
Sincerely,
Dear Fahad,
We miss you too! I'm glad to hear your classes are going well.
Lately, I've been playing games with my little brother, when I'm not too busy with my classes.
Next summer I will be going on a lot of hikes with my family, looking forward to it! Thank you for getting back to me.
Your friend,
___________.
The correct answer is A. In the Middle Ages, spices that are now ordinary were rare imports from faraway places.
Explanation
The excerpt talks about traders who traded in black pepper grown in southwestern India, which meant too long a journey to bring these products to Europe. In the first place they had to be transported to Arabia, and from there to Syria where European merchants acquired it to take it to the different kingdoms of Europe as the author mentions when saying that "From India the pepper was shipped across to Arabia, where camel caravans would carry it all the way to Syria. The Italians could purchase enough pepper in Syria to carry with them to the next Champagne fair". According to the above, the correct answer is A. In the Middle Ages, spices that are now ordinary were rare imports from faraway places.
The answer would be D. Patrick painted the old chair. The transitive verb in the sentence would be painted.
Hope I helped! Good luck! :)
