Question

5. How does the sentence below support the author’s point?
a. It explains how the land lotteries worked in Georgia..
b. It describes the best option for distributing land in 1800s.
c. It shows Georgia’s involvement in the headright system.
d. It does not support the author’s point

Answer 1

I don’t have the sentence or surrounding passage — can you paste it here? Without it I can’t pick the correct option.

Meanwhile, here’s how to decide:
- Choose (a) if the sentence explains the mechanics or steps of Georgia’s land lotteries (who entered, how winners were chosen, how land was assigned).
- Choose (b) if the sentence argues that one method was the best way to distribute land in the 1800s (an evaluative/argumentative claim).
- Choose (c) if the sentence says Georgia used or was part of the headright system (showing involvement in that earlier practice).
- Choose (d) if the sentence is irrelevant to the author’s main point or doesn’t support it.

Paste the sentence and I’ll pick the best option and explain why.
