Vasco da Gama's voyage in 1497 was important because he found a trade route to India. Option C is correct.

Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer and the first European to reach India by sea. His first voyage to India (1497–1499) constituted the connect to  Europe and Asia by an ocean route, linking the Atlantic and the Indian oceans and therefore, the West and the Orient.

His discovery of the sea route to India was of paramount importance and opened the way for an age of global imperialism and for the Portuguese to establish a long-lasting colonial empire in Asia.

3. Scientists at the Ethical Treatment for Animals report findings that show raising livestock is (2 points)
gladu [14]

Answer and Explanation:

You should ask these questions before making a judgment about the findings that raising livestock is harmful to the environment and that the sale of meat should be banned:

<em>1. How many studies have shown the same results?</em>

This is an important question to ask since results from one researcher or (group of researcher) need to be tested for reliability and validity before it is accepted as scientific truth or fact. This is why you should check if other studies also show the same result about the harmful effects of raising livestock on the environment.

<em>2. Does the group conducting the study have anything to gain by interpreting their findings in this way?</em>

Unfortunately, at times, certain researchers or groups of researchers fabricate or exaggerate their research findings for their own gains or to further their agendas.  In this instance, since the group conducting the research is the <em>Ethical Treatment for Animals</em> it is possible that the group interpreted and published the research findings to fit their own paradigm- that eating meat is unethical and should be stopped- when in fact such a claim needs further testing.

<em>3. Does the environmental damage matter as much as people's freedom to eat what they choose?</em>

This is a valid question to consider as it involves the matter of free will. Banning the sale of meat would take away the free will of individuals who would like to continue consuming meat despite evidence suggesting that it is harmful for the environment. Thus, it is important the consider whether environmental damage matters as much as people's freedom to eat what they choose when making a judgement about these research findings.
