Analyze the question and options

The question asks which excerpt from Into the Unknown by Stewart Ross is best supported by the "visual text feature." The visual text feature (such as a map or route illustration showing a journey along a coast, crossing the equator, and reaching a river mouth) is missing from the image, but we can evaluate the options to find the one that describes a specific geographical route or visual path.

Evaluate the options for visual mapping

• Option 1: "As a keen zoologist (a student of animal life), she hoped to discover new species of insects and freshwater fish." This describes scientific goals, which are typically supported by illustrations of specimens, not standard route maps.
• Option 2: "Trading as she went, she was always a cause of astonishment in villages where no European woman had been seen before." This describes social interactions, which would be supported by a portrait or scene illustration.
• Option 3: "The Mové steamed south along the coast, crossed the equator in the afternoon, and reached the broad mouth of the Ogooué by evening." This describes a highly specific geographical journey (steaming south along a coast, crossing the equator, reaching a river mouth). This is precisely the type of spatial and navigational information that is directly supported and illustrated by a map or visual route diagram (Text Features).
• Option 4: "Kingsley made other journeys to Gabon to study her beloved Fang tribe, traveling through country that Europeans had not visited before." This is a general statement about multiple journeys and anthropological study.

Connect to reading comprehension

Using Reading Comprehension, we determine that Option 3 contains explicit geographical markers (south, coast, equator, mouth of the Ogooué) that perfectly align with a visual map or route tracking feature.

Answer:

• (A) As a keen zoologist (a student of animal life), she hoped to discover new species of insects and freshwater fish.
• (B) Trading as she went, she was always a cause of astonishment in villages where no European woman had been seen before.
• (C) The Mové steamed south along the coast, crossed the equator in the afternoon, and reached the broad mouth of the Ogooué by evening. (Correct answer)
• (D) Kingsley made other journeys to Gabon to study her beloved Fang tribe, traveling through country that Europeans had not visited before.
