Explanation:

To determine the true statement about the US Army's roundup of the Cherokees (part of the Trail of Tears), we analyze each option:

• The first option is false as officials often failed to provide promised supplies.
• The second option is true: During the roundup, officials rushed the Cherokees, giving them little to no time to gather basic supplies for the forced removal journey.
• The third option is false; there was no such promise of payment after the journey.
• The fourth option is false; the Cherokees were forced to relocate far (to Indian Territory, present - day Oklahoma), not to nearby areas.

Answer:

B. Officials gave the Cherokees no time to gather basic supplies for the trip.
