Question

select the correct answer from the drop - down menu. how does paragraph 3 use evidence to support the claim that the government and the tribal nations working together \permanently protected sacred lands for future generations\? the paragraph supports the claim by discussing laws to preserve land that should pass soon. options: stating when the land buy - back program funds will be issued; specifying how many acres of homeland were preserved; explaining how the cobell settlement was signed into law; discussing laws to preserve land that should pass soon

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "stating when the Land Buy - Back Program funds will be issued" focuses on fund issuance timing, not land protection evidence.
• "specifying how many acres of homeland were preserved" provides a concrete measure (acres) of land preserved, directly supporting the claim of permanently protecting sacred lands.
• "explaining how the Cobell settlement was signed into law" is about a settlement's enactment, not land protection evidence.
• "discussing laws to preserve land that should pass soon" refers to future laws, not evidence of already protected lands.

The claim is about permanently protecting lands, so specifying the number of acres preserved is the best evidence.

Answer:

specifying how many acres of homeland were preserved
