Answer 1

1) A network of warriors governed Japan at all levels, including the shogun, who was more powerful than the emperor.

Explanation: In medieval Japan real political power lay with the military rulers (shoguns) and the warrior class (samurai); the emperor remained a figurehead.

2) Ability to sail long distances before refueling.

Explanation: Caravels were small, highly maneuverable ships with good seaworthiness and range, making them well suited to long-distance exploration (more so than large cargo capacity or large crews).
