Read the quotation from Al Omari, an Egyptian historian.

This man [Mansa Musa] spread upon Cairo the flood of his generosity: there was no person, officer of the court, or holder of any office of the Sultanate who did not receive a sum of gold from him. The people of Cairo earned incalculable sums from him, whether by buying and selling or by gifts. So much gold was current in Cairo that it ruined the value of the money . . .

The correct answer is C) he spent so much money that he actually lowered the value of Cairo's currency.

The other options of the question were A) he was stingy with his wealth and kept it to himself. B) He was generous with his money and raised the value of Cairo's currency. D) he was a wise man who spread learning wherever he went.

The passage about Emperor Musa states that he spent so much money that he actually lowered the value of Cairo's currency.

Although he wanted to help his people giving them so many riches, in the end, that decision end up being a problem for Cairo. The excerpt indicates that "So much gold was current in Cairo that it ruined the value of the money..."

As the Emperor of the Mali Empire in the 14th century, he was known for being one of the richest men on Earth at that time, if not the wealthiest. His reputation traveled fast until European monarchies heard about him and his wealth.
