Question

lands, waters, and resources.
the student wants to make and support a generalization about the alta
conflict. which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the
notes to accomplish this goal?
choose 1 answer:
a sámi rights to lands, waters, and resources received
international attention and legal protections as a result
of the alta conflict.
® during the alta conflict, sámi activists staged protests to
block the construction of a dam on the alta river in
norway that would disrupt local fishing and reindeer
herding.
© although the dam that the sámi activists had protested
was ultimately built, the alta conflict had a lasting
impact.
® the alta conflict had a lasting impact, resulting in
international attention and legal protections for sámi
rights to lands, waters, and resources.

Explanation:

To make a generalization about the Alta conflict, we need a statement that connects the conflict to a broader outcome. Option A only states the outcome without linking it to the conflict's impact. Option B is a specific event during the conflict, not a generalization. Option C mentions a lasting impact but is vague. Option D clearly states the lasting impact of the Alta conflict (international attention and legal protections for Sámi rights) which is a generalization supported by the context.

Answer:

D. The Alta conflict had a lasting impact, resulting in international attention and legal protections for Sámi rights to lands, waters, and resources.
