A sample question
Archaeologists excavating a ninth-century Viking settlement in what is now Sweden found hundreds of silver coins minted in Baghdad and other cities of the Abbasid Caliphate, more than 4,000 kilometers away. There is no evidence that the settlement's residents themselves ever traveled that far. The coins therefore suggest that ______ Which choice most logically completes the text?
- the residents of the settlement minted their own copies of foreign coins.
- merchants from Baghdad lived permanently in the settlement.
- silver had little value to the people of the settlement.
- the settlement was connected, perhaps through other traders, to trade networks that reached the Abbasid Caliphate.
