Question

a series of roads, waterways, railroads, and air routes that allow groups to trade goods with one another; a loose organization of societies that exchange goods with each other
choose an answer
1 society
2 economy
3 trade network
4 hierarchy

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "society" refers to a group of people living together, not focused on trade routes/exchange.
• "economy" is a broader system of production, distribution, etc., not specifically about trade routes.
• "trade network" matches the description: it involves routes (roads, waterways, etc.) and societies exchanging goods.
• "hierarchy" is about a ranking system, not trade.

Answer:

1. trade network
