Question 1 • English Language Arts 12

Sara is researching colonial America for her US history class. Which text best matches her reading purpose?

Answer
A
“Colonial History,” an interactive website sponsored by the National Park Service and the Smithsonian Institution
B
“Why You Should Visit Historic Colonial Jamestown,” an online travel article about what to do in historical Jamestown
C
“Call Me Margaret,” an award-winning young adult historical fiction novel about a teenager living in colonial America
D
“Life in Colonial America,” a blog written by tenth-grade US history students and posted on a high school website

Explanation

For a US history assignment, Sara needs a reliable source that provides factual information about colonial America. “Colonial History,” sponsored by the National Park Service and the Smithsonian Institution, is the strongest match because these institutions are authoritative sources and the website focuses on colonial history. The novel is fiction, while the blog and travel article are less directly suited to dependable historical research.
