Explanation:

Question 1

• Key words in question: "Spanish, English, French", "sponsored voyages", "leave homelands".
• Key words in options:
• a: "gaining wealth", "gold or title".
• b: "political unrest", "lack of religious freedom".
• c: "establishing new trade routes".
• d: "All of the above".
• Explorers from these countries left for wealth (gold, land titles), some sought religious freedom/political stability, and new trade routes (like finding a shorter route to Asia). So all reasons apply.

• Key words in question: "Puritans", "migration and colonization".
• Key words in options:
• a: "social outcasts", "no religious freedom", "no political voice". Puritans faced persecution in England for their religious beliefs and limited political power.
• b: "establish new trade routes" – Puritans were more focused on religious freedom, not trade.
• c: "strong standing with royal family" – Puritans were at odds with the royal family over religion.
• d: "searching for gold" – Puritans sought religious and political freedom, not gold.
• So the correct reason is a.

• Key words in question: "France", "established settlements in Quebec".
• Key words in options:
• a: "develop mining companies" – France’s Quebec settlements were more about fur trade, not mining.
• b: "fur trading affiliation with Native Americans" – France’s main economic activity in Quebec was fur trading with Native Americans.
• c: "produce agricultural goods" – Quebec’s climate was not ideal for large - scale agricultural production for European demand.
• d: "closer relationship with English settlers" – France and England were rivals, not seeking closer ties.
• So the correct answer is b.

Answer:

d. All of the above
