Students fix three errors — exploring for food in Asia, the exchange involving only animals, and horses as native to the Americas. Part B has three questions about the three Gs and European diseases. Part C has two questions about 'God, Gold, and Glory' and the exchange's impact on Native Americans.
Correcting exploration motivation and Columbian Exchange errors builds the causal understanding students need to analyze how contact between hemispheres permanently transformed the people, animals, and economies of both worlds.
