Read the first paragraph from "Money to Us Is of No Value". Money to us is of no value, and to most of us unknown; no consideration whatever can induce us to sell the lands on which we get sustenance for our women and children. We hope we may be allowed to point out a mode by which your settlers may be easily removed and peace thereby obtained. Which best describes a central idea of this paragraph?
Answer
A
The tribes want to talk to the settlers about leaving the land the settlers are on.
B
The tribes live on land that provides sustenance to their women and children.
C
The tribes do not believe the US government values the land it has.
D
The tribes do not want to sell their land for any amount of money.
Explanation
The paragraph says money has no value to the tribes and that “no consideration whatever” can persuade them to sell the land that sustains their families. This shows they do not want to sell their land for any amount of money. Although they mention removing settlers to make peace, they do not say they want to negotiate with the settlers about leaving.
