American and Everyday Heroes — Test

Question 1 • M/J Language Arts 3 Advanced

Which sentence from the passage contains information that could best be used to create a yearbook page about Clara Barton?

Answer

“The American Red Cross is a relief organization that offers assistance to victims of such disasters as the 1889 Johnstown Flood and the 1900 Galveston Flood.”

“She served as president for 23 years before resigning amidst claims that money was being mishandled internally.”

“The Civil War was a bloody war fought between the years 1861–1865.”

“However, Clara was not content to sit on the sidelines; she often risked her own life to care for soldiers wounded in battle.”

Explanation

A yearbook page about Clara Barton would be best served by information describing her and her actions. Choice D explains that she risked her life to care for wounded soldiers, giving a meaningful detail about her character and service. The other choices focus on the Red Cross, a claim about its leadership, or the Civil War rather than directly describing Barton.
