Eleanor · Answer 2

All answers that apply are A and C.

A. The Silk Road reopened and trade was revived.

C. Merchants were given higher status in society.

When the Tang Dynasty conquered the Turkic tribes, reopened the Silk Road route, and promoted trade with the West boomed.

Trade on the Silk Road revived and reached its zenith during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) when the Mongols promoted trade in their huge empire.

The Yuan government issued a special passport to the merchants to protect their trade and free movement within the country.

Trade boomed also because preferential treatment was given to the merchants. Silk was traded for medicines, perfumes, slaves, and precious stones.
