1) One major impact of world exploration was slavery, new plants, and crops exchanged (letter A.). The new resources found by European explorers lead to continued trading among different territories.

2) The major purpose of mercantilism is for a country to set up a favorable balance of trade (letter F.). This would allow the "mother" country to benefit more financially than the territory/country they are trading with.

3) Two impacts of mercantilism on Europe include: spread of culture from one area to another (letter E.) and the Columbian Exchange (letter I.)

4) A favorable balance of trade is when a country sells more than it buys (letter D.)
