Question

question 5
based on the article, the reader can tell that ______.
a. henson liked a quiet life and did not want the honors he received
b. henson had many skills that were useful for an arctic explorer
c. peary was not as skilled at traveling and exploring as henson
d. peary was eager to share the fame of being the first to reach the north pole

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Without the article, we can't assume Henson disliked honors. There's no info to support this.
• Option B: Arctic exploration requires skills like navigation, survival, etc. If the article shows Henson had such skills (common in Arctic explorer context), this makes sense.
• Option C: The question is about what the reader can tell. Comparing Peary and Henson's skills without article context is baseless.
• Option D: Historical context (and typical explorer narratives) suggest Peary wanted sole fame, so this is unlikely.

Answer:

B. Henson had many skills that were useful for an Arctic explorer
