[Q]: Extract the answer to the question from the following context. Question: What was not hard? Context: The "soft" AC format has reinvented in the late 2000s/early 2010s as a result of its declining relevance, adopting a more upmarket, middle-of-the-road approach, with a selection of "oldies" (usually from the 1960s/70s onwards), primarily rock, jazz, R&B and pop music. Newer songs are more often (but not limited to) "easy listening" fare, this amount varying depending on the age of the station's target demographic.

[Q]: Extract the answer to the question from the following context. Question: Which ship other than San Jeronimo, Los Reyes and Todos los Santos visted the islands in a different year. Context: The Spanish ship San Pedro and two other vessels in an expedition commanded by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi discovered an island on January 9, 1530, possibly Mejit, at 10N, which they named "Los Barbudos". The Spaniards went ashore and traded with the local inhabitants. On January 10, the Spaniards sighted another island that they named "Placeres", perhaps Ailuk; ten leagues away, they sighted another island that they called "Pajares" (perhaps Jemo). On January 12, they sighted another island at 10N that they called "Corrales" (possibly Wotho). On January 15, the Spaniards sighted another low island, perhaps Ujelang, at 10N, where they described the people on "Barbudos". After that, ships including the San Jeronimo, Los Reyes and Todos los Santos also visited the islands in different years.
