The correct answer to the question: An all-water route into the East was needed for all the following reasons exccept:, would be: High prices.

Explanation:

Due to the Crusades, Europeans came into contact with Asian spices and became enamored by the products from the East. However, way before the block on trade imposed by the invasion of the Turks to Constantinople, and the issuing of further conflict between Muslims and Christians, there was another reason which fueled the needed for the Age of Exploration, the seeking of an all-water route to the East, and that was, the incredibly high prices placed on products that necessarily went through the hands of Italian merchants before they reached the final consumer in Europe. Cities like Venice, Genoa, and others, had control of most of the trading system that arrived from the East and they imposed extra prices for products desired by Europeans. Later, when the Turks invaded Constantinople, further need for the Age of Exploration arose, but the first reason was the need to brake the monopoly the Italians had on the trade, especially of spices.
