The idea that the Earth is a spherical served as the foundation for Christopher Columbus' exploration.
- The church exerted considerable influence over society during the Middle Ages, and the majority of explanations for observed events were perceived as commands from God. As a result, scientific growth made minimal progress during this time.
- At that time, ships were thought to fall when they approached the horizon, and the flat Earth notion was widely accepted across Europe. However, other philosophers asserted that the Earth was a spherical and that this property prevented observers from seeing the full surface of the planet.
- Since Christopher Columbus was among the thinkers who thought the Earth was spherical, he wanted to create a new trade route by circumnavigating the globe to reach the East Indies.
Thus the correct answer is Option C.

The main idea of the memoir "Gumption" is that motivation is kind of like gumption which is also the theme of the story. The author goes into this meaning within the story. His mother motivates him for everything he does and tells the main character not to give up in any chance saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." This quote creates the main idea of the whole story. This quote is a huge motivation for the author. Also, another motivating quote is when she said, "Buddy, maybe you could be a writer." That is also an encouragement which all goes back and connects with the main idea and theme "never give up."
