state of oklahoma. a number remained in the southeast and gathered in
north carolina where they purchased land and continued to live. (2) others

Explanation:

The text is about Cherokee Indian ancestry and their historical movements. The underlined phrase in question (1) is related to the territory where Cherokees were moved. The original text says "a territory that is now the State of Oklahoma". Option B correctly re - phrases this as "many Cherokees were moved west to a territory that is now the State of Oklahoma". Option A is too general as it just says "the State of Oklahoma" without the movement context. Option C changes the subject to the U.S. government moving (the original is about Cherokees being moved). Option D also has an incorrect subject (U.S. government) and an incorrect structure.

Answer:

B. many Cherokees were moved west to a territory that is now the State of Oklahoma.
