To determine which of the options were reasons for Columbus's first voyage from Spain, we can examine historical records and accounts.
Option 1: To find precious metals such as gold
This option is one of the reasons for Columbus's voyage. Columbus believed that by sailing westward, he would reach Asia and have access to trade routes rich with precious metals such as gold.
Option 2: To see if the world was flat or round
Contrary to popular belief, Columbus was well aware that the world was round. This was not a motive for his voyage, as the spherical shape of the Earth had been widely accepted by scholars and explorers of that time.
Option 3: To find the fabled New World
This option is another reason for Columbus's voyage. He sought to discover uncharted territories and believed in the existence of a landmass known as the "New World" or the Indies.
Option 4: To find an easier route to Asia
This option is also one of the reasons for Columbus's voyage. Columbus intended to find a faster westward route to Asia, bypassing the traditional overland routes and capturing the lucrative trade with the East.
Based on historical evidence, the correct choices are options 1 (to find precious metals such as gold) and 4 (to find an easier route to Asia).
