Which of the following is NOT a reason for European exploration of the Americas? Choose 3

They wanted to expand national riches
Gaining personal glory for explorers
They wanted to spread Christianity to Native Americans
They were interested in trying Native American food

1 answer

The three statements that are NOT reasons for European exploration of the Americas are:

  1. They were interested in trying Native American food
  2. (Any two of the other options, as they all are reasons for exploration).

The first option clearly does not align with the primary motivations of exploration during that time period, while the other options are typical motivations. So, your clear answer is that "They were interested in trying Native American food" is the only correct point not associated with the main reasons for European exploration.
