The increase in trade between Europe and its colonies, which characterized the 17th century, is exemplified by
  1. The emergence of African languages in continental Europe
  2. The spread of democratic ideals to the colonies
  3. The decline in cottage industry
  4. The dramatic increase in tea and coffee consumption
  5. The increase in furniture in working-class homes
Explanation
Answer: D - One of the ways in which the increase in trade that characterized the 17th century emerged was in the greater consumption of tea and coffee. As trade with India and the American colonies evolved, these beverages, which had been enjoyed only by the elite, were making their way through the other social classes. By the end of the 18th century, all but the poorest would regularly consume these beverages.
