Explanation:

For Part A: The passage focuses on how the author's connection to the northern Ontario land is tied to his cultural identity, childhood, and family history, even after being away in urban areas. Option 3 directly reflects this core link between place, identity, and culture.
For Part B: The central idea from Part A is that place is connected to identity/culture. The sentence in option 2 shows how the land (a physical place) is tied to the author's family's history and ability to navigate their cultural territory, which develops the central idea.

Answer:

Part A: 3. A physical place can be closely connected to the identity and history of a culture.
Part B: 2. "He'd learned those routes as a boy, he said, and he could find his way from there to Whitedog, a hundred miles away." (Paragraph 8)
