Cabrillo\u2019s mission was to explore the coast for Spain, seeking new trade routes and resources. His expedition continued north along California\u2019s coastline, documenting coastal landmarks and making contact with native communities. Cabrillo's exploration opened the door for future Spanish influence in the region, setting the stage for California's eventual European settlement. Cabrillo\u2019s journey remains a landmark in North American exploration history, celebrated in sites like Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"Christopher Columbus"},{"right":"yes","answer":"Juan Rodr\u00edguez Cabrillo"},{"right":"no","answer":"Ferdinand Magellan"},{"right":"no","answer":"Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1744,"title":"Basin and Range Province of the United states","slug":"basin-and-range-province-of-the-united-states"},{"id":1732,"title":"The Major Landform Regions of the USA","slug":"landform-regions-of-the-usa"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/10447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=10447"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=10447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
