Read the sentence from "We Are Determined Not to Sell Our Lands." The lands do not belong to the Yorkers; they are ours and were given to us by the Great Spirit. How does this sentence develop the central idea of the speech?

The sentence directly states that the land belongs to the tribes because the Great Spirit gave it to them. This supports the speech’s central idea that they are determined not to sell their lands. Choice D is too broad: the sentence gives a reason for their claim, not the land’s full history.
