Answer 1

The reasons for Columbus’s first voyage from Spain include:

• He went in search of an easier route to Asia.

This was a primary motivation for Columbus, as he aimed to find a westward route to the spice-rich lands of Asia.

While Spain's interest in discovering new cultures and religions was broader motivation for exploration during that era, it was not a specific driving force for Columbus's first voyage. Therefore, the correct answer is the second option.
