Question
[113]. Read the following passage carefully and answer the question.
Passage: Long before modern shipping, ancient trade routes joined distant lands by sea and by land. Ships carried spices, cotton and gems from Indian ports to Arabia and beyond, while caravans of camels and horses crossed deserts and mountains with silk, salt and glass. Trade carried more than goods. Along the routes travelled languages, religions, stories, mathematics and new crops, so that a farmer in one country might grow a plant first domesticated thousands of miles away. Trade also carried risk: a storm, a war or a blocked pass could ruin a merchant. Yet the routes survived because people on both ends wanted what the other produced. In that exchange, civilisations did not merely buy and sell; they learned from each other. Which of the following can be most reasonably inferred from the passage?
Option 2 : Ancient trade routes has a lasting importance that goes beyond its immediate or obvious effects, and understanding it changes how we judge related choices.
