What were two motives that encouraged spain to establish colonies in the americas?
to spread the message of christianity
to bring back gold to spain
to trade in beaver fur
to discover a route to the pacific ocean
to discover a new route to india and china

The correct answers are:

- to spread the message of Christianity;

- to bring back gold to Spain;

The Spanish had multiple reasons for establishing colonies in the New World, but the biggest ones were to spread the Catholicism, and to bring back gold in Spain.

The people in the New World were pagans, and were seen as unbelievers, so the Spanish wanted to convert them and spread the Christian faith.

Also, the New World was very rich with gold, and the gold was of extremely big value in Europe, so the Spanish wanted to get hold on to as much gold as possible.

the correct answer is “opportunity cost”. opportunity cost is what a company misses out because it decided in one option over another one. in this case, the company decided to invest in building a factory so it gave up another possible benefit or profit in order to achieve success with the factory.  

trade-off is not the correct answer since it is a situation in which you accept losing something in return for benefits in other areas.

and finally, consequence is a general term used to accept what it comes when you make a decision. it can be a positive or negative consequence depending if the decision you took was the correct one.
