Voyages of Columbus

Question 1 • (Bergold)WCA 2130 US History 1 1st nine weeks 26-27

What does Columbus find when he reaches what he thinks is India? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
heavily populated islands
B
empty cold beaches
C
land suitable for habitation
D
a place where nothing grows
E
a land with no people

Explanation

Columbus reached inhabited Caribbean islands, not the Asian mainland he believed he had found. The islands had people living on them and were suitable for habitation, so “heavily populated islands” and “land suitable for habitation” apply. They were not empty, lifeless places where nothing grew.
