Answer:

The dispute between the empires in Europe made North American exploration appealing because it gave them strength, power and wealth for their empires. By conquering America they gain land and wealth. In history, it was seen that land was more important than wealth because it helped them to expand their empire. Christopher Columbus took a voyage in search of spices, but he reached America and found bullion (gold and silver) which helped them in establishing colonies.

Anarel [89]

We have here two independent clauses:
1)The space shuttle is taking off on Saturday
2)the departure time is 3:00 P.M

When you have two independent clauses which are not joined by any conjunction, you should put a semicolon between them. So in any case the following option is the correct one:!

A. The space shuttle is taking off on Saturday; the departure time is 3:00 P.M.

Explanation:

Let's know better each explorer. It's important to know their names and accomplishments.

Francis Drake (1540 - 1596)

Francis Drake was an English explorer. Queen Elizabeth sent Drake to South America as part of England try to stand out itself from Portugal and Spanish on their empires. At the time Drake arrived in South America, that place was under control of the Iberian empires (Portugal and Spain). He returned to England via the Pacific, and it was honored by Queen Elizabeth for his victories. The nickname English Sea Dog was given to him, alongside his mate Richard Hawking, as part of their victory against the Spanish Armada in 1588. The battle was influenced by the English support to the independence of Dutch from Spain, and an attempt of Spain to destroy the English emergent commercial trades in the Atlantic.

Vasco de Balboa (1475 - 1519)

Vasco de Balboa was a Spanish explorer. He made many alliances with the natives during his explorations in the new world. These alliances led him, in 1513, to discover the Pacific Ocean (or Mar del Sul, as he named). The arrival at the Pacific Ocean was made crossing the Isthmus of Panama.

Ferdinand de Magellan (1480 - 1521)

Ferdinand de Magellan was a Portuguese sailor. His proposal to reach India through a new route by the Pacific was refused by Portugal. At that time, the Portuguese empire was strong enough to refuse this proposition with its recent discoveries (especially Brazil in 1500). Anyway, Magellan was commissioned by King Charles I from Spain to do his attempt to reach India through Asia using the Pacific as a route. If Magellan would accomplish this attempt, Spain would obtain a valuable route and could confront Portugal in trade. His expedition was able to accomplish this attempt, but Magellan died in 1521.

Jacques Cartier (1491 - 1557)

Jacques Cartier was a French explorer. Cartier was commissioned by King Francis I of France to explorer the northern parts of North America. His idea was to found a passage to Asia. France, just like England, was trying to surpass Portugal and Spain looking for new lands and trade routes. In 1534, during his explorations, Cartier found the St. Lawerence River, and he was the first to explorer it.

Samuel de Champlain (1567 - 1635)

Samuel de Champlain led the first French settlement in 1608. However, we have to explain this statement. Jacques Cartier tried to create a settlement in 1541, during his explorations of the St. Lawrence River, but the settlement was abandoned due to the bad weather, diseases and other bad aspects.

Jacques Marquette (1637 - 1675)

Jacques Marquette was a Jesuit explorer. He is best known for his traveling trough the Mississipi river.
