Voyages of Exploration

Question 4 • LHS World History

Ferdinand Magellan is next to try to trick you. Which of his statements is a lie?

Answer
A
“I sailed for Portugal.”
B
“I died on a voyage of exploration.”
C
“I discovered the Strait of Magellan.”
D
“My expedition was the first to reach India.”

Explanation

Magellan served Portugal earlier in his career, so “I sailed for Portugal” is true. His famous expedition sailed for Spain and became the first to circumnavigate the globe; it did not reach India. Therefore, the lie is “My expedition was the first to reach India.”
