What does your text say?
To determine the main exploration goal of Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, you can analyze the options provided:
A) to find gold and silver
B) to find an all-water route to China
C) to establish a fur trade with the Indians
D) to map the route of the Mississippi River
To proceed, we can eliminate options A and B. Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle was a French explorer who focused on the North American continent, and thus he was not primarily interested in finding gold, silver or establishing a route to China.
Option C is also unlikely, as while fur trade played a significant role in early European exploration of North America, it was not the main goal of La Salle's expeditions.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) to map the route of the Mississippi River. La Salle embarked on several expeditions in an attempt to explore the interior of North America, and one of his main accomplishments was tracing, mapping, and claiming territories along the Mississippi River and its tributaries.
