V. READING COMPREHENSION (7 points)

Read the passage and answer the questions that follows. Write the answer on the ine provided
before each number.

In the 16th century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand Magellan
led the first expedition to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the
king of Portugal, but he became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost
the king's favor. After he was dismissed from service by the king of Portugal, he offered to serve
the future Emperor Charles V of Spain. A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New
World west of 50 degrees W longitude to Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal.
Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20,
1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships
was exploring the topography of South America in search of a water route across the continent.
This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South
America. Finally, they found the passage they sought near 50 degrees S latitude. Magellan
named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today it is known as the Strait of Magellan. One
ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to
gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the meridian
now known as the International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after 98 days on the Pacific
Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died of starvation and
disease.Later, Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed
in a tribal battle. Only one ship and 17 sailors under the command of the Basque navigator
Elcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all that
the world is round, with no precipice at the edge.
