Answer:

Suppose I was king or queen:

Step-by-step explanation:

You might have said no because the voyage was a big risk. The ships might all disappear at sea, and you would never get your money back. Or you might have said yes, because if Columbus found a better route to Asia, you could get rich from the trade with China and the Indies.
