Question

select the correct answer.
which of the following serves as relevant evidence supporting the claim that mt. mckinley can not be given a specific indigenous name?

a. indigenous names for the mountain are lost to history.

b. the u.s. government has no right to bestow indigenous names.

c. the mountain has had at least nine indigenous names.

d. most indigenous people believe the site should be unnamed.

Explanation:

To support the claim that Mt. McKinley cannot be given a single specific indigenous name, we need evidence that shows there is no single appropriate indigenous name to use. Option A would mean no name exists to assign, but the claim is about not being able to give a specific one, not that no names exist. Option B focuses on government authority, not the availability of a specific indigenous name. Option D argues for no name at all, not against a specific one. Option C shows there are multiple indigenous names, making it impossible to select just one specific indigenous name for the mountain.

Answer:

C. the mountain has had at least nine indigenous names.
