Answer:

C. 3

Explanation:

Spanish explorer and conquistador Vasco Núñez de Balboa was the first European explorer to see the eastern shores of the Pacific Ocean. In 1511, he was made captain general and interim governor of Darién, the first Spanish settlement in Panama, by king Ferdinand II. The Spanish got news about a fabulously rich Indian kingdom with much gold to the south (probably the Inca empire), a story that encouraged Spanish greed.  In 1513, without waiting for reinforcements, Núñez de Balboa  headed 190 Spanish soldiers and numerous Indian porters and set to explore southwards, crossing dense jungles, swamps and mountains. There he saw the shores of the Pacific. As a reward for his discovery of the Mar del Sur (Southern Sea, the Pacific), the king appointed him Adelantado (envoy).

Vesnalui [34]
John Locke, (born August 29, 1632, Wrington, Somerset, England—died October 28, 1704, High Laver, Essex), English philosopher whose works lie at the foundation of modern philosophical empiricism and political liberalism. He was an inspirer of both the European Enlightenment and the Constitution of the United States. His philosophical thinking was close to that of the founders of modern science, especially Robert Boyle, Sir Isaac Newton, and other members of the Royal Society. His political thought was grounded in the notion of a social contract between citizens and in the importance of toleration, especially in matters of religion. Much of what he advocated in the realm of politics was accepted in England after the Glorious Revolution of 1688–89 and in the United States after the country’s declaration of independence in 1776.

Locke’s family was sympathetic to Puritanism but remained within the Church of England, a situation that coloured Locke’s later life and thinking. Raised in Pensford, near Bristol, Locke was 10 years old at the start of the English Civil Wars between the monarchy of Charles I and parliamentary forces under the eventual leadership of Oliver Cromwell. Locke’s father, a lawyer, served as a captain in the cavalry of the parliamentarians and saw some limited action. From an early age, one may thus assume, Locke rejected any claim by the king to have a divine right to rule.

After the first Civil War ended in 1646, Locke’s father was able to obtain for his son, who had evidently shown academic ability, a place at Westminster School in distant London. It was to this already famous institution that Locke went in 1647, at age 14. Although the school had been taken over by the new republican government, its headmaster, Richard Busby (himself a distinguished scholar), was a royalist. For four years Locke remained under Busby’s instruction and control (Busby was a strong disciplinarian who much favoured the birch). In January 1649, just half a mile away from Westminster School, Charles was beheaded on the order of Cromwell. The boys were not allowed to attend the execution, though they were undoubtedly well aware of the events taking place nearby.
