Critique the following statement: “in the 15th century, europeans discovered the new world”. what is ironic, or problematic, about that statement? a something, such as land, can’t be “discovered” if people had already been living there for thousands of years. b the europeans were in fact the first people to explore and claim land in the new world. it was new land for everyone. c europeans had discovered and claimed land much earlier than the 15th century. d the new world wasn't discovered and claimed by the europeans until the 1800s.
