The correct responses regarding how some African kingdoms benefited from the triangular trade are:
1. **Some African kingdoms traded with Europeans for goods, such as guns.**
2. **Some African kingdoms grew wealthier by trading enslaved people.**
The other responses may not accurately reflect the historical context.

Additionally, while some African kingdoms might have received resources from the West Indies, it was not a primary benefit highlighted in the context of the triangular trade.
