Explanation:

First Question (Document A)

Step1: Identify goal of text

Andrew Jackson campaigned to gain Georgia voters' support by promising to open Cherokee lands, aiming to convince them to back his presidential run. This matches the definition of persuading an audience to accept his position.

John Ridge, a Cherokee leader, writes critically about white society's unfair judgment of Indigenous people, framing white people as dismissive and ignorant toward educated Indigenous individuals. This perspective directly opposes the dominant beliefs of white society at the time, so the intended audience is those who disagree with the source's (white society's) views.

Answer:

Persuade
