Explanation:

For question 3, when European nation - states competed, they needed to strengthen their military to protect interests and expand, so "increased spending on the military" is correct. To manage resources and territory better, "more levels of government and government workers" was a result. Competition also spurred economic growth, leading to "bigger businesses". And to have an educated workforce for various tasks (including military, administration, and trade), "greater emphasis on formal education" was a consequence.
For question 4, during the Age of Exploration, economic motives were central. Spain and Portugal, like other European powers, wanted to gain access to valuable goods (such as spices from Asia) and resources. Spreading Christianity was a secondary motive (though important to the Church), and while exploration did lead to more knowledge about the world, the main driver was economic gain.
