Answer:

The main goal of the Age of Exploration was to find a shorter route to get to the Indie Islands for their spice trade, which was at that time, very valuable and the silk road was too long and expensive.

Explanation:

The Portuguese traders decided that since the land route was not effective enough to get control over the spice trade in Asia, they decided to explore other trade routes whereby they would arrive at the East Indies faster without the heavy charges they were given when using the Silk Road. They had passed by the Cape Verde islands and it took them a while to understand the strong wave currents at the Golf Of Guinea before they would find a way to pass by it unharmed to reach Africa and the spice trade.

The Cape of Good Hope was not difficult to pass, but the Benguela Current flowing in a clock-wise direction had caused a lot of trouble for the traders passing by. In the end, they realised that they could apply the same method of overcoming the Canary Current using Volta do mar for the Benguela Current. This was the greatest achievement for the traders who went through the Age of Exploration and wanted to find a shorter route to get to the spice islands.

Which of these is an argument against the production of genetically engineered food
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

D. Genetically engineered food is unnatural and possibly dangerous to eat

Explanation:

One of the biggest arguments about the genetically engineered food is that it is not natural food and it can be dangerous to eat. It is still hard to evaluate the effect of the majority of the GMO's as they have been introduced very recently. There are some GMO's that have proven to be very damaging though, like the GMO soy for example. It has been proved that this soy actually manages to reduce the amount of testosterone in the men, and that it is the main cause why the testosterone in the men in the Western world has dropped as much as 50% in the past few decades. The women have increased levels of anxiety, aggression, and depression because of the GMO soy. So taken this in consideration it doesn't seem that it is a good choice to consume this type fo foods.

What role did business and religion play in the conservative movement?
Vitek1552 [10]

By Marcus Hawkins

Updated March 17, 2019

Quite often, those on the left of the political spectrum dismiss political conservative ideology as the product of religious fervor.

At first blush, this makes sense. After all, the conservative movement is populated by people of faith. Christians, Evangelicals, and Catholics tend to embrace the key aspects of conservatism, which include limited government, fiscal discipline, free enterprise, a strong national defense, and traditional family values. This is why many conservative Christians side with Republicanism politically. The Republican Party is most associated with championing these conservative values.
