Mansa Musa, ruler of the [West African] empire of Mali, stopped there for three days during a pilgrimage to...Mecca. Cairo at this time was an extremely sophisticated metropolis, and its inhabitants would not ordinarily have paid much attention to foreign travelers. But Mansa Musa was so wealthy...that his expenditures of gold and his conversations with local notables were recorded in great detail. The story of Mansa Musa tells a good deal about the role of the Sahara in world history. First, it shows that by the fourteenth century CE the great desert could be safely crossed, even by a mighty king carrying precious goods and accompanied by a large body of followers. Second, it indicates that the lands to the south of the Sahara were...organized into large states and that at least some of their inhabitants had become pious Muslims. Finally, it tells us something about the economic basis for more regular trans-Saharan travel, as [West African] gold was of great value for both the Islamic world and Christian Europe during the late Middle Ages.”  \nSource: Ralph A. Austen, United States historian of Africa, Trans-Saharan Africa in World History, book published in 2010  \n1. Respond to parts A, B, and C.  \nA. Describe one likely reason for Mansa Musa’s journey to Cairo and Mecca.  \nB. Describe one piece of evidence not found in the passage that could be used to support a claim made by the author in the second paragraph.  \nC. Using a specific example, explain how long-distance trade routes affected the societies they connected in the period 1200 to 1450.  \n“The inhabitants of India, as far as I have been able to see, have very little interest in learning about divine things. Sir, you know very well what a hard business it is to teach people who do not have any knowledge of God to give up their sinful habits. They dislike it so much, that it is most difficult to get them to hear us if we begin to preach about it, and they think it like death tobe asked to become Christians.  \nCertainly, if the Portuguese were kinder to new converts [to Christianity], a greater number would convert, but, as things stand, the Indians see that converts are despised and looked down upon by the Portuguese, so it is natural they are unwilling to become converts themselves.
