No puede ser "came from" debido a que luego dice "do nothing", cuando debería ir algo sobre el origen de las exploaciones, ni "anniversary", porque no están refieriendo al aniversario de las exploraciones de otras personas, sino de las exploraciones anteriores al de Colón. (earlier explorations)
when Columbus landed in the Bahamas and ______ to report his discoveries, he opened the North and South American continents to further exploration and eventual settlement.
Aquí nos dan " landed in the Bahamas and ______ to report his", por lo que en el hueco va otra cosa que hizo, asi que podemos descartar previously, si seguimos el contexto, podemos ver que "Celebration" no sigue el contexto, ni esta bien conjugado para el hueco. El único que queda es "moved out", que esta conjugado y sigue el contexto. (moved out to report his discoveries, he opened the North and South American continents to further exploration and eventual settlement).
