Question

communities may not have looked like leadership that you see in the external world, but the leadership existed. you could find the leadership just by seeing who people go to when theres a time of crisis in the community. which sentence best integrates a direct quotation from the excerpt? mankiller states that in the cherokee nation, \the leadership existed,\ even though the leadership may not have looked like leadership that people see in the external world. unlike the leaders of the us government, the cherokee leaders are the ones \who people go to when theres a time of crisis.\ mankiller explains that cherokee leadership looked different from other governments because \you could find the leadership just by seeing who people go to when theres a time of crisis in the community.\

Explanation:

The third option correctly integrates a direct - quote from the excerpt and provides context about Cherokee leadership. It combines the idea that Cherokee leadership was different and how it could be identified (by seeing who people go to in a crisis). The first option only quotes part of the statement about leadership existing. The second option makes an unnecessary comparison to US government leaders and doesn't fully integrate the key idea from the excerpt.

Answer:

Mankiller explains that Cherokee leadership looked different from other governments because "you could find the leadership just by seeing who people go to when there's a time of crisis in the community."
