Between 1534 and 1542, who made three voyages across the Atlantic claiming the land for King Francis I?

  1. Ferdinand Magellan

  2. Jacques Cartier

  3. Samuel de Champlain

  4. John Cabot

The correct answer is: Jacques Cartier

Jacques Cartier is the correct answer because he made three voyages across the Atlantic during 1534 and 1542, claiming the land for King Francis I of France. Ferdinand Magellan is incorrect because he sailed for Spain, not France, and his voyages occurred between 1519 and 1522. Samuel de Champlain is incorrect because he explored what is now known as Canada, not the French territories in the Americas. John Cabot is incorrect because his voyages were sponsored by King Henry VII of England, not King Francis I of France. By process of elimination, Jacques Cartier is the most likely and correct answer.
