Answer 2

1. Travelling by sea was for centuries the slowest way to travel. True. Before the invention of steamships and modern navigation technology, travel by sea was the slowest means of transportation.

2. Ancient peoples settled in lands far away from their origins. True. Throughout history, civilizations have migrated and settled in different parts of the world, often far away from their original homeland.

3. Maps and global positioning systems are early tools used by ocean navigators. False. Maps have been used for centuries, but global positioning systems are a modern technology that was not available to early ocean navigators.

4. These first nautical charts were not very accurate, but valuable. True. The first nautical charts were not as precise as modern ones, but they were still valuable for mariners as they provided important information about coastlines, hazards, and navigation routes.

5. European ships didn't need to travel around the world to search for new trading routes and partners. False. European ships, particularly during the Age of Exploration, embarked on long voyages around the world in search of new trading routes and partners.

6. The route to India via the Cape of Good Hope was discovered only thanks to Vasco de Gama. True. Vasco de Gama, a Portuguese explorer, successfully sailed around the Cape of Good Hope and reached India in 1498, opening up a direct sea route between Europe and Asia.

7. Navigational aids made navigation safer and more comfortable for mariners. True. The development of navigational aids such as compasses, astrolabes, and sextants greatly improved the accuracy and safety of navigation at sea.

8. English as an international language is very helpful for sailors from different countries around the world. True. English has become the lingua franca of the maritime industry, and proficiency in English is highly beneficial for sailors from different countries to communicate effectively with each other.

9. There is no need for a sailor in a multilingual crew to speak English well. False. While it is possible for a sailor in a multilingual crew to rely on interpreters or translators, having a good command of English is still advantageous for effective communication and teamwork on board a ship.

10. In a foreign port, sailors are given an interpreter who helps a sailor to speak to port authorities. False. While interpreters may be available in some cases, it is generally expected that sailors have a basic understanding of the local language or can communicate in English to interact with port authorities and officials.
