Excerpt from incredible oceans
roberto barerra

by interacting with and trading with newfound nations, explorers were able to bring back products that were exotic to their own shores. they opened up trading routes between different countries. trade has been an important part of life for most cultures throughout history; it is even more so today, as the internet has improved our ability to maintain a global market. today, most of the world’s goods are transported on the oceans from one seaport to another before making their way to your home.

based on the author's use of details and language in paragraph 4, the reader's conclusion can best be described as:
a) the market for exotic goods has increased.
b) without the internet global trading of goods would be impossible.
c) there are many ways in which the market and the internet affect each other.
d) the internet has improved communication, but most global transportation still depends on shipping.
