the article says:
they picked the fruit in the fall. it stayed fresh for a long time. people could eat it through the winter. so, at harvest time, the group gave thanks.
which words from the passage help you understand the meaning of the word harvest?

a. it stayed fresh

b. in the fall

c. the group gave thanks

d. they picked the fruit

Explanation:

To determine which words help understand "harvest", we analyze each option:

• Option A ("It stayed fresh") describes the fruit's condition, not harvest time.
• Option B ("in the fall"): Harvest is typically associated with fall (autumn) when crops/fruit are gathered. The passage says they picked fruit in fall, and harvest time is when they gave thanks, so "in the fall" connects to harvest timing.
• Option C ("the group gave thanks") is an action after harvest, not defining harvest.
• Option D ("They picked the fruit") is part of harvest, but "in the fall" better clarifies the time of harvest.

Answer:

B. in the fall
