Question

read the sentence and determine the meaning of the boldfaced word. christopher columbus claimed the land for spain. spain ruled it for hundreds of years. state the right to own to live in a new country to make sounds to make a map

Explanation:

The sentence mentions that Columbus claimed the land for Spain and Spain ruled it. "Claimed" in this context relates to asserting ownership. "State the right to own" aligns with this idea. The other options ("To live in a new country", "To make sounds", "To make a map") do not fit the context of taking land for a country to rule.

Answer:

State the right to own
