Explanation:

1. The Mongol khanates were relatively tolerant of different religions and did not eliminate non - Mongol faiths. They adopted some Confucian traditions in areas like China, facilitated the spread of technological and cultural concepts across their vast empire, and there was an initial disruption to commerce followed by a resurgence of trade.
2. Mongol economic policies promoted trade and exchanges, and both Mongols and their neighbors benefited from the increased economic activity. They did not violently force neighbors to trade in the sense of coercion as the main method. The shift of Mongols in Russia to farmers is not directly related to economic policy in a broad sense, and the Abbasid capital was not protected from destruction by the Mongols.
3. Marco Polo's journey to the Mongol Empire led to increased contacts between Western Europe and Asia as he wrote about his experiences, which piqued the interest of Europeans in Asia. He did not die at the hands of the Yuan emperor, there was no war between Mongols and Italian forces due to his journey, and there were no exclusive trade agreements between the Mongols and the pope because of his travels.

Answer:

1. The elimination of faiths that did not adhere to the Mongol religion
2. Both Mongols and their neighbors benefited from exchanges
3. increased contacts between Western Europe and Asia
