Answer and Explanation:
1. Colombus' description of the Caribbean Islands, shows that the investment that the Spanish crown made with his trip was productive, as it allowed him to discover a large space with a strong productive potential. For this reason, he made such detailed descriptions, so that the monarchs had a very clear vision of the resources that this region possessed and how it would be exploited.
2. If Colombus had complete freedom to explore a place without goals, but with unpretentiousness, his observations could be more poetic and emphasize the beauty of the place and its resources. In that case, his observations would reflect an admiration and not an economic desire.
1. Columbus's description of the Caribbean reflected Spain's motivation because his description showed that he had come across a place of wealth and beauty.
This area was useful to their expansion agenda.
Spain had sent him there in order to discover a route to Asia. The reason for this was so that they could come across economic wealth more than their rivals.
