Question

what other paragraph also supports the claim that the fur hunters were \brutal and ruthless\?
a paragraph 9
b paragraph 3
c paragraph 10
d paragraph 5

Explanation:

To determine which paragraph supports the claim about fur hunters being "brutal and ruthless", we analyze the context (assuming typical text structure: often, paragraph 5 might contain details like violent actions, exploitation, or harsh treatment of animals/people by fur hunters, aligning with the claim. Other options like 3,9,10 may focus on different aspects (e.g., setting, other events, or less direct support). So paragraph 5 (option D) is the most probable.

Answer:

D. paragraph 5
