B. all of the Wichita became Roman Catholics

C. a direct route from New Spain to the city was discovered

D. the mission served as a base for future Spanish explorers

The correct answer is option C "a direct route from New Spain to the city was discovered"

Explanation:

Padilla went with Coronado back to the Spanish settlement. In fall 1542 he arranged for the excursion by walking of in excess of 1,000 miles, and taking with him the required impacts for saying mass, with three sidekicks. Their course was more straightforward than Coronado's first course, starting in Bernalillo, on the stream above present-day Albuquerque, and going through Pecos and toward the upper east, most likely entering Kansas close to the southwest corner and continuing on to the place that is known for the Quiviras. They securely arrived at their goal and were generally welcomed by the Indian clan. Coronado had raised a cross at one of the towns. Padilla started his preacher work. At the point when he chose to leave to work with different clans, he was slaughtered. He became not just the primary minister in the Mississippi Valley, yet the principal Christian saint in what is currently the US of America.

A direct route from New Spain to the city was discovered ( C )

Explanation:

Juan de Padilla was a Spanish Roman catholic priest that went on an exploration with Francisco Coronado to North America on a quest to discovering the Mystical seven cities of gold. during the several explorations  of North America for the cities of Gold Francisco Coronado gave up the quest and Juan de Padilla and the  others who accompanied them gave up as well.

But they later migrated on another quest to discover gold in a land known as Quivira but stopped and camped near a village known as Wichita after a year later Padilla came back and established a mission and the establishment of the mission led to the death of Padilla and the discovery of a direct route from new Spain to the city.
