Question

select the correct answer.
which detail from the passage helps to develop the idea that many americans are unaware of the greatness of the nation’s national parks?

a. most of these places are located in remote areas, with two outside the united states.

b. until recently there were no roads, trails, hotels, or camps in any of the national parks.

c. yellowstone is among the most populated wildlife areas in the world, with few humans.

d. tourism to these places did not build until after congress set them apart as parks.

Explanation:

To determine which detail supports the idea that many Americans are unaware of the greatness of national parks, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If most national parks are in remote areas (and two outside the US), limited accessibility could lead to Americans being unaware of their greatness, as people may not visit or learn about them easily.
• Option B: The lack of infrastructure "until recently" doesn't directly explain current unawareness of their greatness.
• Option C: Yellowstone's wildlife population and few humans relates to its ecosystem, not Americans' unawareness of its greatness.
• Option D: Tourism development timing doesn't show unawareness of their greatness.

Option A's mention of remote locations (limiting exposure) best supports the idea of unawareness.

Answer:

A. Most of these places are located in remote areas, with two outside the United States.
