Answer 2

The correct response is: Both explorers provided information about the geography of Texas that helped other explorers.

Answer 3

The correct answer is: "Both explorers provided information about the geography of Texas that helped other explorers."

To arrive at this answer, you can analyze each option and eliminate those that do not accurately describe the contributions of Álvarez de Piñeda and Cabeza de Vaca to the exploration of Texas.

1. "Both explorers experienced conflict over land with Indigenous Americans once they arrived in Texas." - While it is true that both explorers had encounters with Indigenous Americans, it does not accurately explain their contributions to the exploration of Texas. Conflict over land is not a specific contribution they made.

2. "Both explorers were shipwrecked during their voyages and required help from Indigenous cultures." - While it is true that both explorers were shipwrecked and received assistance from Indigenous cultures, this does not directly contribute to the exploration of Texas. It details their personal experiences but does not provide valuable information about the geography of Texas.

3. "Both explorers provided information about the geography of Texas that helped other explorers." - This option accurately explains the contributions of both explorers. Álvarez de Piñeda and Cabeza de Vaca gathered information about the geography of Texas, which they later shared with other explorers. This knowledge would have been valuable for subsequent expeditions.

4. "Both explorers wrote books about their experiences discovering gold and building colonies in Texas." - This option is inaccurate. Neither Álvarez de Piñeda nor Cabeza de Vaca wrote books about discovering gold or building colonies in Texas. Their contributions were primarily focused on exploration and geographical knowledge.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3: "Both explorers provided information about the geography of Texas that helped other explorers."
