Question

Despite the reports Columbus gave Ferdinand and Isabella of finding great riches, he mostly found

a. timber and wool
b. plants and animals
c. salt and hawks bells
d. wine and glass beads

Answer 1

b. plants and animals

Step-by-step explanation:

When Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain agreed to fund his voyages, Columbus committed to give them possession of all spices he found. However, he did not actually find riches or a sea route to Asia - he mostly found plants like maize and animals like llamas. Thus his voyages served as a way of extending Spain's power.
