Question

read the excerpt from \we are determined not to sell our lands.\ brother, you want us to travel with you and look for new lands. if we should sell our lands and move off into a distant country towards the setting sun, we should be looked upon in the country to which we go as foreigners and strangers. we should be despised by the red as well as the white men, and we should soon be surrounded by the white people, who will there also kill our game and come upon our lands and try to get them from us. which is the central idea of this excerpt? ○ moving west will cause similar problems. ○ settlers will compete with indigenous people for game. ○ the west is full of foreigners. ○ the us government wants the tribes to move farther west.

Explanation:

The excerpt argues against moving west by stating that Indigenous people would be treated as strangers there, and white settlers would eventually take their new lands and game, just like in their current home. This directly supports the idea that moving west would lead to the same problems they face now. The other options either miss the core point or are only minor details.

Answer:

Moving west will cause similar problems.
