Question

read the paragraph. then choose the best summary
railroads eventually replaced the wagon trains. people could travel west faster. the oregon trail was then used for cattle and sheep drives.
a. wagon trains traveled too slowly.
b. the oregon trail was a popular train route.
c. people took cattle to oregon.

Explanation:

• Option A only focuses on one small detail (wagon trains' speed) and does not cover the full content of the paragraph.
• Option B is incorrect because the paragraph states the Oregon Trail was used for cattle/sheep drives after railroads replaced wagon trains, not that it was a train route.
• Option C aligns with the key point that the Oregon Trail was repurposed for cattle (and sheep) drives, which is a core part of the paragraph's content.

Answer:

C. People took cattle to Oregon.
