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?

To correctly place the goods on a map based on their geographic origins, we need to consider the historical associations of each item:

  1. Silk - The primary origin of silk is China. This is well-documented as silk production began in ancient China and remains linked to Chinese culture.

  2. Spices - The main geographic origins for spices, particularly in historical contexts, include Southeast Asia (the Spice Islands) such as Indonesia and the Philippines, as well as parts of India.

  3. Cotton - Cotton has multiple origins, with significant production in India, the Nile Basin in Egypt, and Central America.

  4. Porcelain - Like silk, porcelain is also primarily associated with China, famous for its high-quality ceramics.

Based on this information, the best response would be:

Good Geographic Origin

  • Silk: China
  • Spices: Southeast Asia
  • Cotton: India, the Nile Basin, and Central America
  • Porcelain: China

This matches the first option in your provided responses:
