4 0

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The explorers during the Columbus' time that is during the 1400s were largely looking for a sea route to Asia.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Columbus was an "Italian explorer" who started his expedition in 1492 across the Atlantic Ocean in a hope to find a sea route to the Asian country of India.
  • He wanted to set up a spice trade with India as India was known for its variety and quality of spices at that time.
  • He explored to find a sea route from "Europe to Asia" but he was unsuccessful.
  • In fact during his four trips in '1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502' he did discover a route to the Americas, both North and South.
  • Another explorer of his time Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer, also sailed to find a sea route to the Asian countries and in 1497 found one to India by travelling around "Africa’s Cape of Good Hope".

What is the process called when a bill becomes a law?
natali 33 [55]
According to the United States House of Representatives, the process when a bill is passed and becomes a law in print is called Legislation. A resolution is passed after a bill is proposed to the President for his approval. A bill and a joint resolution are also considered the same. Except that a joint resolution needs a vote from the senate and the House of Representatives and if voted for by the majority is sent straight for implementation and the President's signature is not needed.
A bill may be vetoed by the members or amended. It can result in a lot of debate before it is done either too.

Test your skill in recognizing fallacies by choosing the appropriate fallacy for the example below.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: Straw man.

Explanation:

A straw man refers to a form of argument of refuting an argument, Eben though the argument's real subject was not addressed but rather the argument was replaced with a false one.

In this case, another person's argument is being taken by someone else. Then, the person either exaggerates it or distorts and then attacks the distortion without arguing on the main claim.

The statement that "My opponent would have you believe that lung cancer can be cured simply by posting "No Smoking" signs on anything

that stands still" is straw man. Here, the main argument regarding lung cancer isn't addressed.
