Let's break down the passage and answer the questions:

Passage Analysis

The passage focuses on the growth of Philadelphia as a market center during the early colonial period. It highlights the expansion of markets, the role of fairs, and the increasing specialization of merchants as the city developed.

Answers to the Questions

1. (B) Philadelphia's development as a marketing center. The passage primarily discusses how Philadelphia grew into a major market, with details about its markets, fairs, and the specialization of merchants.

2. (C) Existing markets were unable to serve the growing population. The passage states that the High Street Market was continuously enlarged because the city was becoming more crowded. This implies that the existing market couldn't handle the increased demand.

3. (D) region. "Hinterland" refers to the surrounding area or region outside of a city or town.

4. (C) The High Street Market. The sentence "The High Street Market was continuously enlarged throughout the period until 1736" indicates that "it" refers to the market.

5. (A) returned. "Persisted" means to continue or to happen again. In this context, it means that the fairs continued to happen even after other cities stopped having similar events.

6. (C) a couple of times a year. The passage states that fairs "persisted" even after similar trading days were discontinued in other cities. This suggests that fairs were not daily events but occurred less frequently, likely a couple of times a year.

7. (D) could easily be transported. The passage mentions linens and stockings from Germantown as popular items at the fairs. This suggests that these goods were easily transportable, making them suitable for sale at fairs.

8. (A) eliminate. "Eradicate" means to completely remove or destroy something. In this context, it means that the merchants were eliminating the need for general stores by specializing in specific goods.

9. (A) Merchants had a strong impact on economic expansion. The statement "economic development was on the merchants' side" means that the merchants were driving the economic growth of Philadelphia.

10. (B) experiencing. "Undergoing" means to be experiencing or going through something. In this case, the surrounding area was experiencing tremendous economic and demographic growth.
