Answer:

Columbus described the Natives he first encountered as “timid and full of fear.” Why did he then capture some Natives and bring them aboard his ships? Imagine the thoughts of the Europeans as they first saw land in the “New World.”

Answer:

Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451. Little is known of his early life, but he worked as a seaman and then a sailing entrepreneur. He became obsessed with the possibility of pioneering a western sea route to Cathay (China), India, and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia. At the time, Europeans knew no direct sea route to southern Asia, and the route via Egypt and the Red Sea was closed to Europeans by the Ottoman Empire, as were many land routes. Contrary to popular legend, educated Europeans of Columbus’ day did believe that the world was round, as argued by St. Isidore in the seventh century. However, Columbus, and most others, underestimated the world’s size, calculating that East Asia must lie approximately where North America sits on the globe (they did not yet know that the Pacific Ocean existed).

What right is denied to Israel’s Arabs?
trasher [3.6K]
The answer is - c. serving in the military.

Just to be clear, serving in the military is not forbidden for Israeli Arabs, but it is the only thing that is not ''required'' of them to do. Israelies have to go to military service, while Israeli Arabs are not ''required'' to do that. Even though most of them don't do it, still there's the occasional exception where some of them want to go to military service and they do attend it.
