Question

Passage 1: The Corps of Discovery Expedition
Passage 2: Lewis and Clark: Journal Entries
How do the texts' structures as both journal entries and as informational text together help illustrate that the expedition "accomplished several of its goals?" Select TWO options.

By saying the Native Americans were easily ruled, it shows they were securing ownership of the land.


By describing friendly encounters with the Native Americans, it shows they were establishing a peaceful relationship with Native American tribes.


By describing their scary experiences on the riverbank, it shows they were discovering a continuous waterway that would lead to the Pacific Ocean.


By describing the many dangers they encountered, it shows they were coming in contact with many new species of plants and animals.


By going into so much detail about the weather, it shows they were learning to forecast the weather for future explorers in the region.

Answer 1

- By describing friendly encounters with the Native Americans, it shows they were establishing a peaceful relationship with Native American tribes.

- By describing the many dangers they encountered, it shows they were coming in contact with many new species of plants and animals.

Explanation: The first-person journal entries record first-hand meetings and negotiations with tribes (showing efforts to build peaceful relations), while the informational-detail sections list and describe flora and fauna they observed (showing scientific documentation of new species). The other choices are inaccurate or unrelated to the expedition’s documented goals.
