Yes, those two options are indeed closely aligned with Columbus's motivations for his first voyage. To clarify:

1. **He went in search of an easier route to Asia** - This was a primary motivation for Columbus, as he sought to find a westward passage to the riches of Asia.

2. **Spain wanted to control the spice trade** - This was also a significant factor for Spain, as they were eager to compete in the lucrative spice trade, which was dominated by other European powers.
