Explanation:

Part A (assuming the correct answer in Part A is "People survive by remembering their own culture" or a similar idea about the Indian race persisting)

To determine the correct lines for Part B, we analyze each option:

1. Line 1 ("Who says the Indian race is vanishing?") is a question, not support. Eliminate.
2. Line 3 ("The feathers, paint and moccasin will vanish, but the Indians,—never!") emphasizes the Indians' persistence despite cultural symbols vanishing, which supports survival.
3. Line 5 ("His spirit is everywhere; the American Indian will not vanish.") Highlights the spirit (part of culture) ensuring survival.
4. Line 7 ("He is an industrial and commercial man, competing with the world; he has not vanished.") Focuses on modern roles, not culture. Eliminate.
5. Line 9 ("The... Indian is here, there and everywhere.") Shows presence, not cultural memory. Eliminate.

Part B

To support the idea that people (Indians) survive by remembering their culture (or persisting due to cultural/spiritual ties), we analyze:

• Line 3: "The feathers, paint and moccasin will vanish, but the Indians,—never!" emphasizes that despite cultural symbols vanishing, the Indian race persists (implying cultural roots sustain them).
• Line 5: "His spirit is everywhere; the American Indian will not vanish." Links the Indian spirit (a cultural/ancestral element) to their survival.

Answer:

1. "The feathers, paint and moccasin will vanish, but the Indians,—never!" (Line 3)
2. "His spirit is everywhere; the American Indian will not vanish." (Line 5)
