2- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
In the sixteenth 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 to 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 a latitude of 50 degrees S. Magellan named this passage
the Strait of All Saints, but today we know it 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 we now call the
International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after ninety-eight
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 seventeen
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.
