Answer 1

The geographical factors that helped Viking attackers gain access to European settlements include:

- **Rivers**: The Viking longships were well-suited for navigating rivers, allowing them to travel inland and access settlements that were otherwise difficult to reach.

- **Coasts**: The extensive coastlines of Europe provided opportunities for the Vikings to launch raids and land quickly at vulnerable ports and settlements.

So the correct responses are **rivers** and **coasts**.
