Use the map to answer the question.

A blank world map shows outlines of all the continents, along with latitude lines of 60 degrees north, 30 degrees north, zero degrees, 30 degrees south, and 60 degrees south. A scale shows 3000 miles and 3000 kilometers.

Suppose you developed a map similar to the map shown with a legend showing the geographic origins of silk, spices, cotton, and porcelain. Where would these goods be placed on the map?

The correct placement of the goods based on their geographic origins would be:

Good Geographic Origin
Silk China
Spices Southeast Asia
Cotton India, the Nile Basin, and Central America
Porcelain China

This option accurately represents the historic regions known for producing these goods.

  • Silk is primarily associated with China.
  • Spices have many origins, including Southeast Asia, which is where many spices, such as those from the Spice Islands, originate.
  • Cotton has been grown in India, the Nile Basin (Egypt), and also has historical significance in Central America.
  • Porcelain is also primarily associated with China.

Thus, this option correctly identifies the origins for silk, spices, cotton, and porcelain.
