Answer:Hired by English merchants, explorer Henry Hudson twice entered the Arctic Ocean in an attempt to find a Northeast Passage to Asia, only to be stymied each time by sheets of sea ice. Though unable to gain additional backing in his home country, the state-sponsored Dutch East India Company soon jumped in to green-light a third voyage. In April 1609, Hudson set off on his ship, the Halve Maen (Half Moon), but quickly reached treacherous, ice-filled waters above Norway. Choosing to disobey his instructions rather than admit defeat, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Nova Scotia and then roughly followed the coastline south to North Carolina before reversing course again and heading up what’s now called the Hudson River. In the end, shallow waters forced him to turn around, by which time he realized the river would not be a Northwest Passage to Asia. Based on his voyage, however, the Dutch claimed parts of present-day New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut and Delaware for the colony of New Netherland. Hudson, meanwhile, died in 1611 following a mutiny in which he was set adrift on a small lifeboat in the Canadian Arctic

The fall of Granada, in 1492, signified the end of the A. Reconquista. B. Reformation. C. Renaissance. D. Resistance.
Arada [10]

The correct answer is A.

The Reconquista was a process that lasted almost 8 centuries, by which the  Christian inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula (that comprises the current territories of Spain and Portugal) tried to conquer back their traditional territories that had been occupied by the Muslims since year 711. Muslims denominated this land as Al-Andalus. The first battle against the Muslim conquerors was celebrated in 722 but the ultimate victory did not arrive until 1492.

In 1492, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, whose marriage united the two kingdoms and who were jointly known as the Catholic Monarchs, managed to conquer the city of Granada, the last muslim reign ruled by Boabdil.
