I believe the correct answers are; B. She knighted Sir Francis Drake for his successful voyage around the world. C. She supported literature and the arts in a period known as "the Elizabethan Age."
Why Option B?
Francis Drake was an English captain, a superb navigator, and an explorer. He was the first captain to sail around the world. He raided Spanish settlements in the New World and attacked Spanish treasure ships. Spain considered Drake a pirate. Queen Elizabeth pretended to disapprove of Drake in public, but in private she thrilled at news of his exploits.
Drake set sail on the <em>Golden Hind</em> in December 1577. His job was to seek out opportunities for English trade and settlement, but he mostly just wanted to sail around the world.
Queen Elizabeth I rewarded Drake for his voyage around the world by knighting him Sir Francis Drake.
Why Option C?
Queen Elizabeth I loved attending the theater and was found to be a fan of multiple poems and plays. Writers breathed new vitality into English poetry and drama. Sir Walter Raleigh was a poet. Raleigh brought Edmund Spenser to the queen's attention. He wrote an epic poem called <em>The Faerie Queen</em>. The queen mentioned in the title was Elizabeth.
The Presidential $1 Coin Act required that the cent, beginning in 2010, "shall bear an image emblematic of President Lincoln's preservation of the United States of America as a single and united country".
