What european empire began to build trading posts in india in the 1600

The Portuguese empire which was one of the largest and longest-lived empires in world history, began to build trading posts in India in the 1600s.  The Portuguese established the trading empire in Asia because they did not encounter any resistance, so they built their trading posts in Goa and in Malacca (Malaysia in present-day). The Malacca peninsula became the strategic base for Portuguese trade expansion with China and Southeast Asia. Not only did the Portuguese but also the Spanish become interesting in expanding their power and influence by establishing building forts and trading out of them.

b. after i get up in the morning,

explanation:

after is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a time clause. time clauses are dependent clauses used to indicate when something happened.

the clause "after i get up in the morning" tells when the action in the main clause (drinking a cup of coffee) happens:

"after i get up in the morning, i drink a cup of coffee." it is the most logical choice of all.
