Question

Which statements accurately describe Magellan’s expedition?

Answer 1

Answer:

The officers and crew remained loyal and determined to complete the mission throughout the voyage.

Explanation:

The accurate statement describing Magellan's expedition is “The expedition did not conduct trade along the way.” Ferdinand Magellan left the port of Spain to start an expedition that aimed to find a sea route to the West in order to arrive to the Islands of Indonesia.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answers are A and C.

The Magellan's expedition was the first to circumnavigate the globe. It sailed from Seville, crossed the Atlantic Sea to South America, crossed the Magellan's strait and the Pacific Ocean, then it went through South-East Asia and the Indian Ocean, surrounded Africa, and then back to Seville.

They did landfall on every continent except Antarctica and North America.

Most of the members of the expedition died before completing the mission, including Magellan himself. Of the 239 crew that sailed from Seville only 18 returned.

The crew didn't remain loyal throughout the voyage, they rebelled for the scarcity of food and the extreme conditions of the winter in the South of what today is Argentina, near Antarctica.
