Answer 2

Answer:

B) shipbuilding

C) early discoveries

D) famous explorers

These topics would be helpful when writing about sixteenth-century journeys to the New World. Shipbuilding was a significant element of these journeys, as the countries with better shipbuilding skills were the ones that dominated the oceans. Early discoveries are also significant to discuss, as they often led to increasing the exploration efforts. Finally, the study of famous explorers can help us understand many of the motivations behind exploration. Air travel and satellite technology, however, had not been invented at that point in history.
