Writing Coherent Sentences — Unit test

Question 1 • Twilight Session 1 (Fall 26): Literature and Composition I_CThompson

Which sentence from "American Indian Civil Rights” best describes the conflict the author develops in the text?

Answer

Most experts agree that is was over ten thousand years ago, well before European settlers began exploring this region of the world.

Relationships between the Europeans and American Indians turned hostile, and rights were one by one stripped away from American Indians.

One of the most sweeping blows to the American Indian community occurred in 1830 when President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act.

Over the years, American Indian activists have valiantly fought for reform and for the government to honor certain treaty obligations.

Explanation

The conflict developed in the text is the worsening relationship between Europeans and American Indians, including the loss of American Indians’ rights. Choice B states both parts of that conflict directly. Choice C gives one specific example of a harmful event, while D focuses on later efforts to address the injustice.
