Answer 1

The correct analysis of how the cartaz system represented a departure from previous patterns of trade is:

The cartaz system was a licensing system implemented by the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean which required traders to purchase a permit (cartaz) to trade, thereby giving the Portuguese an edge in regulating and controlling trade routes and markets in that region.
