Final answer:

A one-way voyage across the Atlantic in the 1500s took much longer than twenty days and could be achieved using both wind and oars. Despite being expensive and dangerous, these statements are true and not exceptions.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the statements regarding a one-way voyage across the Atlantic in the 1500s are true except that it took about twenty days, it could only be accomplished at certain times of the year, wind was the only source for movement, it was expensive, and it was dangerous. In reality, a one-way voyage across the Atlantic in the 1500s took much longer than twenty days. It could take several months due to the limitations of navigation technology and unpredictable weather conditions. Additionally, wind was not the only source for movement, as oars were also used to propel the ships. While it was expensive and dangerous, those statements are true, making them exceptions to the original question.
