Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Indentured servitude involved people signing contracts to work without pay for a set number of years in exchange for things like free travel to the New World. It was a form of labor - not a sea - route like the Northwest or Middle Passage, and it was different from slavery as it was a voluntary (though often out of necessity) contract for a limited time.
  2. The astrolabe was an instrument used by explorers in the 1400s to navigate at sea by measuring the positions of the Sun and other celestial objects. A caravel was a type of ship, a magnetic compass was used to find direction based on the Earth's magnetic field, and the Mercator projection was a map - making technique.
