Explanation:
In this sentence, we need to fill in the gaps with the proper grammatical form of the capitalized words.
1. Magellan is a proper noun, referring to a person, so it should be capitalized. Since we are using it as a noun here, we need to add the word "explorer" after it to describe what kind of person Magellan is. So the correct answer is "explorer" to complete the sentence: "Magellan, a Portuguese explorer, made the explore..."
2. In this gap, we need to choose the proper form of the word "explore". Since the sentence is talking about a specific trip that Magellan made, we need to use the noun form of the word. The correct answer is "exploration" to complete the sentence: "...made the exploration trip around the world."
3. In this gap, we need to choose the proper form of the word "one". Since the sentence is talking about the starting point of Magellan's journey, we need to use the word "one" with the proper preposition to indicate the origin. The correct answer is "from One" to complete the sentence: "He sailed from one Spain..."
4. In this gap, we need to choose the proper form of the word "one". Since the sentence is talking about the outcome of Magellan's journey in terms of survival, we need to use the word "few" to indicate a small number. The correct answer is "very few" to complete the sentence: "...and only in 1522 very few of his crew members returned alive."
In summary, the completed sentence would be: "Magellan, a Portuguese explorer, made the exploration trip around the world. He sailed from one Spain in 1519 and only in 1522 very few of his crew members returned alive."
