Question

select which of the following options were a reason for columbuss first voyage from spain? (1 point)
○ to see if the world was flat or round.
○ to find the long lost new world.
○ to identify sea monsters that could threaten the island nation.
○ to find a faster and easier route to asia.

Explanation:

• The idea that Columbus set sail to prove the Earth's shape is a myth; most scholars of his time already knew the Earth was round.
• The "New World" was unknown to Europeans then, so it couldn't be "long lost."
• Sea monsters were not a serious navigational concern for his voyage.
• Columbus sought a westward route to Asia (for trade, etc.) as the eastern routes were controlled or difficult, so "to find a faster and easier route to Asia" is the valid reason.

Answer:

to find a faster and easier route to Asia.
