When we meet other people while we travel, we learn to differentiate between
A.imagination and understanding
B.communities and nationalities
C.local values and universal values✓ Correct
D.friends and foes
Explanation
The passage explicitly states that through travel and meeting people in foreign lands, the merchant (and traveller) learns the worth of his wares and "what is parochial and what is universal in his choice". Thus, travel teaches us to differentiate between local (parochial) values and universal values. The other options are not mentioned in the passage.
