TPO-10 第三篇

Paragraph 6：The development of banking and other financial services
contributed to the expansion of trade. By the middle of the sixteenth
century, financiers and traders commonly accepted bills of exchange in place
of gold or silver for other goods. Bills of exchange, which had their origins
in medieval Italy, were promissory notes (written promises to pay a specified
amount of money by a certain date) that could be sold to third parties. In
this way, they provided credit. At mid-century, an Antwerp financier only
slightly exaggerated when he claimed, “0ne can no more trade without bills
of exchange than sail without water." Merchants no longer had to carry gold
and silver over long, dangerous journeys. An Amsterdam merchant purchasing
soap from a merchant in Marseille could go to an exchanger and pay the
exchanger the equivalent sum in guilders, the Dutch currency. The exchanger
would then send a bill of exchange to a colleague in Marseille, authorizing
the colleague to pay the Marseille merchant in the merchant's own currency
after the actual exchange of goods had taken place.


14.Summary 題

○ The expansion of trade was facilitated by developments in banking and
financial services and benefitted from the huge influx of capital in the form
of gold silver from the Americas


想請問一下大家這篇的最後一題的最後一個選項為什麼是正確的呢?
在第六段看到文章說明expansion of trade已經不再carry gold and silver
可是選項說還是用gold silver耶...?

麻煩大家解惑了
非常感謝 ^^
