Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.32 Global Tapestry and Regional Networks, 1200–1450 skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Scenario: A class debates whether networks of exchange were more important than conquest in spreading technologies. (c. 1200–1450).

Which statement best captures a nuanced, evidence-based position?

AOnly conquest mattered; merchants never carried knowledge.

BBoth mattered: conquest could relocate experts and open routes quickly, while trade networks and diaspora communities spread tools and know-how through repeated contact over time.

COnly trade mattered; armies never moved people or ideas.

DNeither mattered; technologies appear randomly with no contact.

Solution & Explanation:Evidence from relocated artisans (conquest) and merchant-linked diffusion (trade/diaspora) supports a blended explanation rather than a single-cause claim.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Source: A compilation of sailors’ route poems (c. 1430). ""When the wind turns, the sea road opens; when it sleeps, the harbor waits.""

Which interpretation best uses the source as evidence for Indian Ocean trade without over-reading it?

AIt suggests sailors recognized seasonal wind rhythms affecting scheduling, but it does not by itself quantify trade volume or identify specific ports.

BIt provides exact numerical data on annual cargo tonnage.

CIt proves that winds were controlled by kings’ decrees.

DIt is unusable because poetic language cannot reflect real practices.

Solution & Explanation:The poem points to monsoon awareness (scheduling), yet it is not a ledger; historians use it for qualitative insight and pair it with records for quantities.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Document 1 (c. 1448): "An Inca official orders increased maize storage in a drought-prone valley and reallocates labor to terrace repair." Document 2 (c. 1449): "A West African caravan leader writes that drought reduced grazing and forced smaller caravans, raising transport prices."

Which synthesis is most defensible?

ADrought always has identical effects everywhere because nature is the only cause of history.

BEnvironmental stress could reshape networks, but centralized states with redistribution systems could buffer impacts more than merchant caravans dependent on pasture and wells.

CCentralized states cannot respond to drought because planning is impossible.

DCaravans grow larger in drought because animals need less water.

Solution & Explanation:Doc 1 shows state buffering via storage and labor reallocation; doc 2 shows private network constraints—supporting a differentiated impact model.
