what goods did europeans send to the east in trade?
a) spices
b) foodstuffs
c) silk
d) timber

Letters A and C. Let us understand why:

European maritime expansion has created new trade routes, connecting many parts of the world, but commercial interest was the main reason.

In the European markets, which flourished during the Late Middle Ages, the sale of spices and other Oriental goods provided very high profits to merchants. Silk fabrics, porcelains and a number of condiments, such as cloves, pepper, and cinnamon, used for food preservation, met a large number of buyers.

step-by-step explanation:

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
