OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (paki):

not b :/

OpenStudy (dm91):

i am thinking it is ether C or D but not 100%

jabez177 (jabez177):

It's not A or B. So either C or D. Which one makes more sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C makes the most sense.

OpenStudy (paki):

so C is the best option here...

OpenStudy (dm91):

if i could give out more then one medal i would

jabez177 (jabez177):

He was sponsored by Isabella. So C is incorrect. D is the correct answer. :)

jabez177 (jabez177):

Paki, read the question again.

OpenStudy (paki):

no

OpenStudy (paki):

Christopher Columbus = was NOT sponsored by Isabella

jabez177 (jabez177):

It says, "Which does NOT describe Christopher Columbus?"

jabez177 (jabez177):

Really?

jabez177 (jabez177):

The return of Christopher Columbus; his audience before King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Just three months after entering Granada, Queen Isabella agreed to sponsor Christopher Columbus on an expedition to reach the Indies by sailing west (2000 miles, according to Columbus). Isabella I of Castile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_I_of_CastileWikipedia

OpenStudy (paki):

yeah...

jabez177 (jabez177):

He was sponsored by Queen Isabella...

OpenStudy (dm91):

i am so confused it is C or D in that mix i got confused

jabez177 (jabez177):

So D is the right answer.

jabez177 (jabez177):

Because it "Does NOT describe" him.

OpenStudy (paki):

omg sorry, yeah D is rite...

OpenStudy (dm91):

oh gosh make up your minds please

jabez177 (jabez177):

Simple, D is the correct answer, not C. :)

OpenStudy (dm91):

are you sure it is D?

jabez177 (jabez177):

Yes, I'm positive. Even Paki said it's D.

jabez177 (jabez177):
