I. After the voyages of Columbus, the king of Spain still believed that India 

could be reached by sailing to the west, so he sent Ferdinand Magellan, along 

with ships and sailors, to seek the truth. They set out for what we now know as 

South America. Nobody could tell whether it was possible to get around or 

through South America. One ship left him, because the crew were too frightened 

to go farther. Magellan explored all down the coast and at last came to a great 

channel. We now call this channel the Straits of Magellan. They are at the 

southern end of South America. Magellan got through the channel, and then a 

great open ocean appeared before him. He called it the Pacific, which means 

peaceful, because it was smooth and calm.


A. The king of Spain sent Magellan to find -

варіанти відповідей

the Straits of Magellan.

South America.

India.
