Answer 1

Both had three motivating factors; however, Columbus achieved spices, God, and glory, whereas da Gama achieved glory and silk.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: Both had three motivating factors; however, Columbus achieved spices, God, and glory, whereas da Gama achieved glory and silk.

Answer 3

To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the information provided in the excerpt.

According to the excerpt, Christopher Columbus's motivations for exploration were influenced by three factors: 1) seeking access to new resources such as fruit and streams, 2) claiming the island for the King and Queen, and 3) converting the islanders to the "Holy Faith."

On the other hand, the excerpt does not provide any information about Vasco da Gama's motivations. Therefore, we cannot directly compare their motivations based on the given passage.

Therefore, the correct answer would be: Both had three motivating factors; however, we cannot determine the specific differences in motivations between Columbus and da Gama based solely on the information provided in the excerpt.
