According to the map, which two areas were not directly connected by a land- based trade route? Mediterranean Sea Indian Ocean A. India and China
B. Europe and Egypt
C. Arabia and Persia
D. Persia and China

B. Europe and Egypt

Explanation:

The map shows elaborated trade routes in history, and likely the Silk road – one of the first land trade routes that connected far East with Europe.

On the map, we don’t see any direct trade land routes that connect Egypt and Europe (which trading points are shown to be Italy and Greece). Europe’s trade route on the map goes over the sea up to the location of Persia. Egypt also has a sea connection to Persia, but there is no direct sea route, nor any land route between the two shown on the map.

The land route depicted connects China with India, Arabia, and Persia, as well as Persia with Arabia.
