Question 1 • DAEP-Grade 7 Texas History A (20 Day Term)

What was the outcome of the Fray Marcos de Niza expedition?

Answer
A
He never found the cities of gold.
B
He found the cities but kept all the treasures for himself.
C
After reaching the cities he took gold back to New Spain to show the viceroy.
D
He saw the cities from a distance and claimed he saw gold in his report for the viceroy.

Explanation

Fray Marcos de Niza did not enter or bring treasure back from the cities he sought. He reported that he had seen the city of Cíbola from a distance and described it as wealthy, including claims about gold. This is why choice D, “He saw the cities from a distance and claimed he saw gold in his report for the viceroy,” is correct.
