Ответ:

1. D. Its location rapidly became popular with foreign tradesmen.
Перевод: Его расположение быстро стало популярным среди иностранных торговцев.
The text actually says "because of its 1) prime location" (A). Let's re-evaluate. "Prime location" is the most fitting idiom for a very good and strategic location. My initial selection was A.
Let's correct this for the output. Original text part: "...because of its 1) ........ location, it rapidly became popular with foreign tradesmen." Options: A prime, B first, C major, D super. The most appropriate word is "prime" for "prime location". So, 1. A. prime.
