Question

which geographic sequence traces the silk road’s connections from east asia westward? east asia to south america to europe; east asia to central asia to middle east; east asia to australia to north africa; east asia to arctic to roman empire

Explanation:

The Silk Road connected East Asia (starting from regions like China) westward through Central Asia (including areas like modern - day Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan etc.) and then to the Middle East (regions like Persia, Mesopotamia). The other options are incorrect: East Asia to South America to Europe is not the Silk Road route; East Asia to Australia to North Africa is not part of the Silk Road; East Asia to Arctic to Roman Empire is also not the correct Silk Road path.

Answer:

B. East Asia to Central Asia to Middle East
