1 enslaved people to the americas
2 sugar, tobacco, and cotton to europe
3 textiles, rum and manufactured goods to africa
this map shows how the triangle trade has traditionally been depicted.
which statement best explains how the map supports the text?
○ the map shows a common and simplistic presentation of how sugar - related trade worked.
○ the map shows an example of what the triangle trade looked like before it became the rectangle trade.
○ the map shows, and the text describes, why the triangle trade was destined for failure.
○ the map shows, and the text explains, why the triangle trade was so harsh to those who participated in it.

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: The map depicts the Triangle Trade (enslaved people to Americas, goods to Europe, manufactured goods to Africa), and sugar is part of the goods to Europe. This option says the map shows a common, simplistic view of sugar - related trade, which fits as the map is a basic representation of the trade (including sugar trade).
2. Analyze Option 2: There's no information about the trade becoming a Rectangle Trade, so this is incorrect.
3. Analyze Option 3: The map and text don't show the trade was destined for failure, so this is wrong.
4. Analyze Option 4: The map doesn't show why the trade was harsh to participants (it shows the trade routes/goods, not the harshness details), so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. The map shows a common and simplistic presentation of how sugar - related trade worked.
