Match the name of a famous person with his discovery. Use the verbs: to find out, to discover.

1. Vasco da Gama
2. Magellan
3. Columbus
4. Copernicus

• a) the Earth goes round the sun
• b) the sea route to India
• c) the world is round
• d) America

Whose name is the odd one out? Why?

1 – b (Vasco da Gama found out the sea route to India.)

2 – c (Magellan discovered that the world is round.)

3 – d (Columbus discovered America.)

4 – a (Copernicus found out that the Earth goes round the sun.)

The odd one out is Magellan. He was not a discoverer in the same sense as the others; he was an explorer, and his name is connected with a voyage around the world.
