Question

in a story of the red cross, why does the author provide a first-hand account of the work in galveston?
to emphasize how recovery conditions have improved
to show a group of people who clara helped during a disaster
to emphasize the benefits an experienced team provides
to show the place where clara was forced to work

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The first - hand account in Galveston isn't mainly about showing improved recovery conditions.
• Option 2: A first - hand account of work in Galveston in "A Story of the Red Cross" (related to Clara Barton's work) would likely be to show the group of people Clara helped during a disaster, as the Red Cross (and Clara's work) is about aiding those in need during disasters.
• Option 3: The account isn't focused on emphasizing the benefits of an experienced team, but rather on the people helped.
• Option 4: There's no indication Clara was forced to work in Galveston, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. to show a group of people who Clara helped during a disaster
