Explanation:

First, analyze Excerpt 1: it details Earhart's achievements (speed/altitude records, first woman to fly across Atlantic, alone, awards, writing, speaking, starting airline/flight school) showing her significance. Now check the options:

• Option 1: "Both explain how significant Amelia Earhart was to society at the time." Excerpt 1 (assuming the other excerpt, though not fully shown, but from the option's logic) – her achievements (awards, firsts, contributions) show societal significance. Other options: Option 2 is wrong (no info on finding her), Option 3 is wrong (she was recognized), Option 4 is wrong (no indication she was forgotten). So Option 1 matches.

Answer:

A. Both explain how significant Amelia Earhart was to society at the time.
