Explanation:

To determine the role of Native language in American culture, we analyze the text. It states that many English words (like "chock," "barbecue") are borrowed from Native cultures, and many places (e.g., Iowa, Ohio) are named using Native terms. The option "It has loaned many useful words and names to society" aligns with these details. The first option about assimilation isn't supported, and there's no mention of challenging English dominance.

Answer:

It has loaned many useful words and names to society.
