Question 14 • PCA 26-27 - ELA - I Literature and Composition (23.3616000) YL IC – 2230727

Stuart is researching the arrival of the first Spanish people in Florida and hopes to find an entertaining and informative source. Which text best serves Stuart's purpose?

Answer
A
a narrative about an early Spanish expedition to Florida, written by a surviving crew member
B
an encyclopedia entry about Spain's claiming of Florida and other lands in North America
C
a text describing early Spanish voyages to Florida in search of gold and silver, written by a historian
D
a collection of poems about the failures and successes of Spain's monarchy

Explanation

Stuart wants a source that is both entertaining and informative about the arrival of the first Spanish people in Florida. A narrative written by a surviving crew member focuses directly on an early expedition and is likely to tell the events as a story. The encyclopedia entry is informative but less likely to be entertaining, while the historian’s text concerns voyages in search of treasure rather than specifically the first arrival.
