Question

1. part b: which of the following quotes best supports

the answer to part a?

a. \i will tell you the reason for the trouble. when
we first made treaties with the government, our old
life and our old customs were about to end....\
(paragraph 1)

b. \someone had been talking of the son of god
and said he had come a reference to the ghost dance
movement.\ (paragraph 9)

c. \the people did not know; they did not care; they
snatched at hope; they screamed like crazy people to
him for mercy they caught at the promise they heard
he made.\ (paragraph 9)

d. \we begged for life and the white men thought
we wanted theirs; we heard the soldiers coming. we
did not fear.\ (paragraph 10)

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume the answer to Part A (likely related to the impact of treaties on Native American life/customs or their response). Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: Talks about treaties ending old life/customs. If Part A was about how treaties disrupted Native American life, this quote directly supports it by explaining the trouble from treaties ending old ways.
• Option B: Focuses on the Ghost Dance movement’s religious reference, not directly about treaties or the core issue of Part A (assuming Part A was about treaty impacts).
• Option C: Describes people’s desperate hope, not tied to treaties or the Part A topic (if it was about treaty impacts).
• Option D: Discusses begging for life and soldiers, not about treaties ending old customs/life.

Assuming Part A’s answer relates to treaties ending Native American life/customs, Option A directly supports it by explaining treaties’ role in ending old life/customs. Other options focus on unrelated topics (Ghost Dance, desperation, or conflict with soldiers).

Answer:

A. "I will tell you the reason for the trouble. When we first made treaties with the Government, our old life and our old customs were about to end...." (Paragraph 1)
