Question 5 • CCPS Georgia Studies 8 (45.00900) YL IC
Read the journal passage from one of de Soto’s expedition members.We continued our march until we came to two rivers, which we crossed by making rafts of pine trees, and entered a province called Otoa, where we found a much larger village than we had yet seen. We captured some Indians, to serve us as guides and interpreters.
Answer
A
The American Indians felt appreciated because they were able to help.
B
The American Indians felt attacked and abused because they were captured.
C
Catching diseases from the Europeans angered them.
D
Being used for things other than guides and interpreters angered them.
Explanation
The passage says the expedition members “captured” some American Indians and forced them to serve as guides and interpreters. Being captured would mean they were treated as prisoners, not that they willingly offered help. Therefore, the best choice is that they felt attacked and abused.
