europeans learned more advanced sailing techniques from native america
clear all

Explanation:

To determine the benefits of the Columbian Exchange for Europeans, we analyze each option:

• "Europeans felt better when they helped the Native Americans" is incorrect as the Columbian Exchange was more about trade and resource exchange, not altruistic feelings.
• "New markets and better nutritious foods" is correct. The Columbian Exchange introduced new crops (like potatoes, corn) to Europe, improving nutrition, and new markets in the Americas for European goods.
• "Disease was cured in Europe from medicines in the Americas" is incorrect. Europeans brought diseases to the Americas, and there's no major record of American medicines curing European diseases.
• "Europeans learned more advanced sailing techniques from Native America" is incorrect. Europeans had more advanced sailing technology at the time and were the ones introducing new technologies to the Americas, not the other way around.

Answer:

B. New markets and better nutritious foods
