Trade, obtaining wealth, and territorial expansion.

Explanation:

The age of exploration started in the 15th century. The main reason for this was the Ottoman Empire which stood on the way of trade between Europe and Asia, was very restrictive and demanded high taxes. The Europeans didn't fancied this and they started to look for other ways to Asia, which led to discovering sea routes that were safe, but also discovering new lands.

Once the new lands were discovered the interest in exploration skyrocketed. Every country wanted to become rich and get as much wealth as possible, and there were some promising signs that the new lands have much to offer. That also led to aspirations for territorial expansion and controlling as much land as possible, most because of economic goals.

Use the passage to answer the following question.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The choices of A, C and D are just wrong. B is the only answer that you can choose. It was what was set up.

A: America would never set up a government headed by an absolute monarch, but in Japan's case, Hirohito was not a bad ruler. He was more the spiritual head of the government. His last act of any meaning was to order the end of Japan's futile resistance in 1945.  So America allowed him to retain his spiritual leadership, but nothing else and that begrudgingly.

C: The same reason for C not being true given in A is the one you would use here. America was terrified of a repeat where the military took power.

D: It would be a long day in winter before America would set up a government modelled like the one in Russia -- at least in 1945. Americans then believed that the best form of government was one like B.

Fugitive slaves traveled to Pennsylvania using all of the following methods except?
vivado [14]
Well, this is very easy, first up; what's a fugitive?

A fugitive is a person that has escaped a place/or is in hiding;to avoid arrest/persecution.

So traveling by wagons,railroads,and walking makes sense. Except for one, slave ships, that makes no sense at all. Why would fugitive slaves travel on "slave ships?"
