Answer: Japan
Explanation:
Christopher Columbus may have been the first recorded European to reach the Americas but this was not his original target. Columbus had wanted to get to Japan and from there, Asia and it never even occurred to him that the Americas might be in the way of this.

Answer:
We were at a disadvantage <em><u>in</u></em><em> </em>that that we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the correct preposition to be used is "in". This is because "in" will introduce the argument or provide an explanation for the statement before the blank.
With the use of "in", the statement <em>"we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using"</em> provides an explanation for the first statement <em>"[W]e were at a disadvantage"</em>. Whereas the use of the prepositions "by", "with", and "for" are incorrect.
Thus, the correct answer is "in".
Answer:
The sentence with the best elements of parallelism of the examples provided is Option B. Science may be challenging, but it is also rewarding; reading might be time-consuming, but it is also enlightening.
Explanation:
Parallelism is a property of the way your sentences are structured in a piece of writing. It is usually a property that is particularly important when providing lists in something you write. All points on a list should start with a word in the same format, i.e. the listed elements should all start with a noun -- or a verb, if that is the case -- but not a mixture of those two elements. You see this mistake a lot on peoples resumes when they are listing things. Option B is best because "reading" is treated like the noun "science" in this case. Another example of the work "reading" being treated like a noun would be: "I have done the reading." Both sentences use the verb in the present progressive form in the second independent clause ending each sentence. That is another way they are parallel. There are other grammatical similarities that could be considered parallelsim in this example too!
