Question 15 • PCA 26-27 - ELA - I Literature and Composition (23.3616000) YL IC – 2230727

Read the scenario.Alicia's class is studying New Mexican history. She learns that Pueblo, Navajo, and Spanish peoples chiseled images called petroglyphs into rock surfaces. Wanting to gain a better understanding of these drawings, she begins to search for additional information.

Answer
A
a book of artwork inspired by petroglyphs found in Crow Canyon, New Mexico
B
a folktale that uses petroglyphs of people and animals to tell a story
C
a text about petroglyphs that were created by New Mexico's ancestral inhabitants
D
a diary entry by a Spanish explorer describing sightings of petroglyphs in New Mexico

Explanation

Alicia wants additional information about the petroglyphs made by the peoples she is studying. A text about petroglyphs created by New Mexico’s ancestral inhabitants would directly explain those rock carvings. The artwork, folktale, and explorer’s diary may relate to petroglyphs, but they would not be as directly informative about their history and creators.
