Answer 1

The statement that describes the third and final leg of the triangular trade is: European goods were sold in Africa.

In the triangular trade, the first leg involved bringing goods from Europe to Africa, where they were traded for enslaved Africans. The second leg, known as the Middle Passage, involved transporting enslaved Africans to the Americas. The final leg involved transporting American goods (such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton) back to Europe. The option about European goods being sold in Africa corresponds to the first leg, while the final leg refers to the return of American goods to Europe.
