During the Lewis and Clark expedition,

Answer
A
Sacagawea and her child helped smooth relations with American Indians.
B
the explorers found a water route from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
C
the explorers ignored the natural world and focused on American Indians.
D
many skilled people of the frontier helped to smooth relations with American Indians.

Explanation

Sacagawea traveled with the expedition, and her infant son’s presence helped signal to Native American groups that the explorers came peacefully. She also helped as an interpreter and guide. The explorers did not find a continuous water route from the Atlantic to the Pacific, so choice B is incorrect.
