4 choose two sentences from the article which support the answer to the previous question.
a parks can help us understand humanitys relationship to the natural world.

Explanation:

To determine the most accurate summary, analyze each option:

• Option A focuses only on animal interaction, ignoring other aspects of the article (culture, history, education).
• Option B emphasizes preserving parks for awareness of creation sacrifices, but the article's focus is on education and learning from parks, not sacrifices.
• Option C aligns with the article: it states parks are important for learning about nature and human - nature relationships. The article mentions parks have unique learning opportunities (about nature, culture, history) and the Park Service's educational mission.

For the second part (choosing supporting sentences), we look for sentences that show parks as places for learning about nature and human - nature relationships. The sentence "Parks contain information that does not exist anywhere else.
