Who were the first known Europeans in North America?

  1. The Spanish explorers

  2. The Vikings from Iceland

  3. The British in the Elizabethan era

  4. The French in the 16th century

The correct answer is: The Vikings from Iceland

Explaining, the first known Europeans in North America were the Vikings from Iceland. While the Spanish, British, and French all eventually arrived in North America, it was the Vikings who were the first to establish a settlement called Vinland in present-day Newfoundland, Canada around the year 1000. While there have been claims of earlier expeditions, such as those by the Irish or Welsh, there is no concrete evidence to support them. Therefore, B is the best answer as it is historically accepted that the Vikings were the first known Europeans to reach North America.
