Question

elect the statement that BEST provides a conclusion that can be drawn about claims in both texts.


The Native American people gave Lewis and Clark valuable information that helped ensure their survival.


The Native American people only helped Lewis and Clark when they were promised coins or goods in return.


The Native American people gave Lewis and Clark misleading information in order to make their journey more difficult.


The Native American people were easy to rule because Lewis and Clark threatened them with weapons.

Answer 1

The Native American people gave Lewis and Clark valuable information that helped ensure their survival.

Both texts describe Native assistance (guides, directions, food, knowledge of the land) that was crucial to the expedition; the other choices claim only payment-motivated help, deliberate deception, or easy domination—none of which is supported by both texts.
