Question MC 9-1. Correct. Here is the text reference:

For an upper-class Spaniard living in the Colonial Centuries (from the end of the Conquest in the mid 1500's to the early 1800's) there was considerable cause for pride and satisfaction in the accomplishments of his or her nation. In the space of a half a century, a few thousand courageous and adventuresome Spaniards had created the geographically largest empire the world had ever known, stretching from the Golden Gate in San Francisco to the Strait of Magellan, Cape Horn, and unknown territories perhaps as far as the South Pole. Inspired by the success of the Reconquest struggle against the Moors, the Conquest of America was also a religious crusade in which the Roman Catholic religion was brought to millions of converts. And that "instrument of empire", the Castillian language, was the official tongue of this huge extension of territory. In Portuguese America the accomplishments were of lesser magnitude, but almost as impressive. Furthermore, these twin Iberian empires in the New World were to endure for three centuries, giving this region the longest period of stability it had ever known, or was likely to ever experience.
