Columbus's voyage is considered linked with which age?

Correct answer: Age of Exploration

The direct answer is A, Age of Exploration. Christopher Columbus’s 1492 voyage across the Atlantic belongs to the European Age of Exploration, also called the Age of Discovery. European sailors searched for new trade routes, lands and commercial opportunities. Step by step: identify Columbus as a fifteenth-century Atlantic navigator; remember his 1492 voyage under Spain; connect it with the period of major oceanic exploration. Option A is correct because Columbus’s voyage is one of the best-known events of that age. Option B, Cold War Period, concerns the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union mainly after the Second World War, centuries later. Option C, Industrial Age, relates to mechanised production and factories, which developed much later. Option D, Space Age, concerns rockets and space travel in the twentieth century, not Columbus’s sailing expedition. Exam cue: Columbus, 1492, Atlantic voyage, Age of Exploration.
