select the correct text in the passage.
which sentence supports the author’s claim that the united states’ natural features are like no others in the world?
(5) the canadian rockies are more than matched in rich coloring by our glacier national park. glacier is the canadian rockies done in grand canyon colors. it has no peer.
(6) the yellowstone outranks by far any similar volcanic area in the world. it contains more and greater geysers than all the rest of the world together ; the next in rank are divided between iceland and new zealand. its famous canyon is alone of its quality of beauty. except for portions of the african jungle, the yellowstone is probably the most populated wild animal area in the world, and its wild animals are comparatively fearless, even sometimes friendly.
(7) mount rainier has a single - peak glacier system whose equal has not yet been discovered. twenty - eight living glaciers, some of them very large, spread, octopus - like, from its center. it is four hours by rail or motor from tacoma.

Explanation:

To support the claim that US natural features are unique, we analyze each sentence:

• Sentence (5): Compares Glacier National Park to Canadian Rockies, saying it has "no peer" in coloring, showing uniqueness.
• Sentence (6): States Yellowstone outranks similar volcanic areas globally, has more geysers than the rest combined, a unique canyon, and a uniquely populated wild - animal area.
• Sentence (7): Says Mount Rainier's glacier system has no equal yet discovered, highlighting its uniqueness.

All three sentences support the claim, but if we consider the most comprehensive one, sentence (6) provides multiple aspects (volcanic area, geysers, canyon, wild - animal population) of Yellowstone's uniqueness. However, depending on the focus, any of the three can be correct. If we take sentence (6) as the answer: The Yellowstone outranks by far any similar volcanic area in the world. It contains more and greater geysers than all the rest of the world together; the next in rank are divided between Iceland and New Zealand. Its famous canyon is alone of its quality of beauty. Except for portions of the African jungle, the Yellowstone is probably the most populated wild animal area in the world, and its wild animals are comparatively fearless, even sometimes friendly.

Answer:

The Yellowstone outranks by far any similar volcanic area in the world. It contains more and greater geysers than all the rest of the world together; the next in rank are divided between Iceland and New Zealand. Its famous canyon is alone of its quality of beauty. Except for portions of the African jungle, the Yellowstone is probably the most populated wild animal area in the world, and its wild animals are comparatively fearless, even sometimes friendly. (or the other two sentences depending on the intended focus, but this sentence provides multiple unique aspects of a US natural feature)
