Questions: 9) From Lesson 7, Q1: While great for the economic health of the continent, the expansion of trade was one of the best and worst things that happened to Europe in the Middle Ages because of: a) People didn't have enough money b) Not enough ways to travel c) Peoples' voyages brought sickness and global epidemics d) More issues than can be counted

The answer is c) Peoples' voyages brought sickness and global epidemics.

During the Middle Ages, the expansion of trade in Europe brought about significant economic benefits but also had negative consequences. One of the major drawbacks was the spread of diseases through trade routes. The movement of people and goods facilitated the transmission of illnesses such as the Black Death, which caused devastating epidemics across the continent. This influx of diseases had a profound impact on the population and overall health of Europe during this period.
