ENGLISH 1X05=05

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.

1. The 16th century was an age of great ______ exploration.

A. cosmic B. land C. mental D. common man E. None of the above

2. Magellan lost the favor of the king of Portugal when he became involved in a political ________.

A. entanglement B. discussion C. negotiation D. problem E. None of the above

3. The Pope divided New World lands between Spain and Portugal according to their location on

one side or the other of an imaginary geographical line 50 degrees west of Greenwich that extends

in a _________ direction.

A. north and south B. crosswise C. easterly D. south east E. north and west

4. One of Magellan’s ships explored the _________ of South America for a passage across the

continent.

A. coastline B. mountain range C. physical features D. islands E. None of the above

5. Four of the ships sought a passage along a southern ______.

A. coast B.inland C.body of land with water on three sides D.border E. Answer not available
