Answer 1

The following statements accurately describe Magellan’s expedition:

1. The expedition was the first to successfully circumnavigate the globe.
2. The sailors suffered greatly, and most died before the voyage was over.

The other statements about making landfall on every continent except Antarctica and the crew remaining loyal and determined throughout the voyage are not correct. While they did travel extensively, not every continent was visited, and the crew's morale faltered significantly during the expedition, leading to discontent and mutinies.
