Paraphrasing and Quoting from a Nonfiction Text: Cherokee Cavaliers
Question 8 of 10 • FL-1001375-English 3 A-CR
Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.”Some people will tell you those treaties aren’t valid anymore and they should be ignored simply because they’re old, and obviously . . . that argument makes little sense. There are lots of world documents that are very old and just because they’re old and because of their age doesn’t mean that they’re any less valid. The United States Constitution is very old.Courtesy of the Wilma Mankiller Trust
Answer
A
Wilma Mankiller says that some people ignore old things, like treaties and other world documents. The United States Constitution, for example, is a document that is very old.
B
The United States Constitution was created many years ago. Therefore, it should be ignored if people feel that old treaties should not be honored because of their age, says Mankiller.
C
Wilma Mankiller says that some treaties created long ago should be disregarded because of their age. She admits, though, that many old documents, including the United States Constitution, can still be considered valid.
D
According to Mankiller, the people who say that old treaties are invalid because of their age are wrong. Many old documents around the world are still valid, including the United States Constitution.
