8 0

Answer:

The correct answers are

(A) Da Gama sailed around Africa to India.

(B) Portugal became the leader of the navigational arts in Europe.

(C) Magellan was sent on the first voyage around the world.

(E) It grew in wealth and importance from its all-water route to the Orient.

Explanation:

Alongside Spain, the Portuguese were one of the first European countries to actively explore the oceans and look for a route to the East Indies.

One of the most popular explorers in Portugal was Vasco Da Dama who was the first person in history to sail around Africa and reach India.

Later on, the Portuguese sponsored Ferdinand Magellan to explore more of the oceans and he became the first person in history to circumnavigate the earth.

This not only cemented their position in Europe as the best sea explorers but brought them a lot of wealth and prosperity due to their all-water route to key trading areas.
