Read the following paragraphs carefully.
Paragraph 1:
The Vikings, also known as Norsemen, were seafaring people from Scandinavia who embarked on a series of expeditions during the late 10th and early 11th centuries. Among their many travels, the Vikings are believed to have made landfall in North America around the year 1000 AD, approximately 500 years before Christopher Columbus. This voyage is attributed to Leif Erikson, the son of Erik the Red, who sailed from Greenland to what is now Newfoundland, Canada, and established a settlement called Vinland. Although the Viking presence in North America was brief and sporadic, it represents an important milestone in the exploration and colonization of the New World. The archaeological evidence and the sagas that chronicle the Viking voyages serve as a testament to their remarkable seafaring skills and their adventurous spirit.
