Question

1. how did axum and yemen grow wealthy?

○ from spices
○ from food
○ all of the answers are correct.
○ from petroleum

Explanation:

Axum (in present - day Ethiopia) and Yemen were part of ancient trade networks. Axum was involved in the spice trade (spices were a valuable commodity), and also had trade related to food and other goods. Yemen, in different historical periods, had various economic activities. However, the option "From spices" is a key way they grew wealthy as Axum was a major player in the spice trade route (like the trade of frankincense, myrrh etc. which were spices or aromatic resins). The "From food" option could be part of trade but is less central, and "From petroleum" is incorrect as petroleum - based wealth is a modern phenomenon. So the correct option related to their historical wealth accumulation is from spices.

Answer:

From spices
