Question

read the excerpt from roald amundsen.
in 1903, amundsen achieved personal fame when he was the first to successfully navigate the northwest passage. this treacherous ice - bound route ran between the northern canadian mainland and canadian arctic archipelago.
which text feature would best support the details in the excerpt?

• an illustration of canada
• a photograph of amundsen
• a map showing the northwest passage
• a chart of all of amundsen’s accomplishments in 1903

Explanation:

The excerpt focuses on Amundsen navigating the specific ice-bound Northwest Passage, which is a geographic route. A map would directly visualize the route's location between the northern Canadian mainland and Canadian Arctic Archipelago, making it the best supporting text feature. An illustration of Canada is too broad, a photograph of Amundsen does not relate to the route details, and the 1903 accomplishments chart would not specifically highlight the passage itself.

Answer:

a map showing the Northwest Passage
