Answer 1

To answer your question regarding Ferdinand Magellan, based on historical context:

1. His expedition was the first to circumnavigate the globe. This is a key reason why he is remembered, as his voyage (although he did not complete it himself, dying in the Philippines) was the first to successfully complete a journey around the world.

2. His crew was able to sail around the world using this route. This statement is also correct because it emphasizes the achievement of his expedition, which ultimately resulted in the first circumnavigation of the Earth, even if not all members of the original crew survived the entire journey.

For the letter indicating the route on the map, without being able to see the map or its details, I cannot definitively state whether the route is marked as A, B, or C. However, the two correct answers regarding why Magellan is remembered are as mentioned above.
