Explanation:

First Question:

The Donner Party was trapped in the Sierra Nevada mountains during a harsh winter, leading to their dire situation. The Appalachian, White, and Green mountains are not associated with the Donner Party's tragedy.

George Donner’s shortcut (Hastings Cutoff) actually delayed the party, causing them to be trapped in the mountains, not save miles or arrive early. So the statement is false.

The Donner Party is notorious for resorting to cannibalism to survive the harsh winter when trapped. The other options (discovering species, being first to California, finding Bigfoot) are not associated with their notoriety.

Answer:

A. Sierra Nevada
