Question

select the correct answer from the drop - down menu. in the passage, charles sheldon makes an argument for naming the mountain denali. what is his strongest claim? charles sheldon’s strongest support for renaming mount mckinley is his claim that everyone in the united states already referred to the mountain by its native american name. the word denali means “the great one,” “the tall one,” or “mountain big.” the alaska national interest lands conservation act had already changed the park’s name to denali national park and preserve. renaming the mountain would honor the native american presence in alaska.

Explanation:

The strongest claim for renaming the mountain Denali would be the one that shows the name has already been widely adopted by the people of the U.S., as this demonstrates existing acceptance and usage, making the renaming a formalization of an already established norm.

Answer:

everyone in the United States already referred to the mountain by its Native American name.
