Answer 1

Option B. Stopping the religious effort of Spain was one of England's main goals in sending explorers to the Americas.

Step-by-step explanation:

British explorers were sent to America in order to find way to the Indies market through Pacific. They also claimed that the North East coast of America for England.

Spanish already established their colonies in England and they came there in order to spread Catholic faith of Christianity in America. Fur Trade was at its peak and their supremacy and dominance was prevalent in America.

This was to be stopped by England. Hence, explorers were sent to America.

Answer 2

I would say C. stopping French Expansion because at the time, there was a exploration race at the beginning of the 1500’s and top three countries who started exploration was Spain, France, and Portugal. After a while, England was like “hey what about us where going to join”. But desperate as they where England like to cheat (at the time I don’t know about know) so they would get pirates (yes pirates are real) to stop some on the ships from getting any goods. If I ship traveled to a country and came back, the trip would be considered useless.
