Let’s go step by step to solve each question.

Part II: Identification
We have these words to choose from:
- Electrum
- Mint
- Inflation
- Currency
- Poverty line
- Tributary
Now let’s match each definition:
1.
“The system of money that a country uses.”
→ That’s
Currency. Every country has its own currency (like Thai Baht, US Dollar).
2.
“The place where coins (and paper money) are made.”
→ That’s the
Mint. Like a factory for money.
3.
“A river or stream that flows into a larger river or a lake.”
→ That’s a
Tributary. Small rivers feed into bigger ones — they’re tributaries.
4.
“This is the level below which people are considered to be poor.”
→ That’s the
Poverty line. If your income is under this line, you’re counted as living in poverty.
5.
“The fall in the market value or purchasing power of money.”
→ That’s
Inflation. When prices go up, your money buys less — that’s inflation.
6.
“Lumps of metal used as money in the Kingdom of Lydia.”
→ That’s
Electrum. It was a natural mix of gold and silver, used as early coinage in Lydia (ancient kingdom).
✔ So Part II answers:
1. Currency
2. Mint
3. Tributary
4. Poverty line
5. Inflation
6. Electrum
