Why might celebrating Columbus Day be offensive to Native Americans?

English

Yes, Columbus was a terrible human being and the fact that he is still celebrated should offend anyone living in the United States.

It turns out that most of what people know about Columbus is a myth.
For instance, it is obvious that Columbus underestimated the size of the earth and overestimated the size of Asia (otherwise he wouldn't have gone on his trip at all). But contrary to what many people believe, learned men of his time not only also knew that the earth was round, they actually had better estimates of both the size of the earth and of Asia, which is the real reason why his project was rejected by several monarchs before Isabella.
<span>Therefore </span>Columbus discovered America because he was ignorant, not because he was a visionary<span>.

Jen reads the following passage: Traveling far above the city of Cleveland, Ohio, on a road that seemed to touch the sky, I jump
Talja [164]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

b. Interpreting

Explanation:

In this case Jen is interpreting what is happening in the story, due to the fact that she is gathering all the given information and taking it into account, she infers what a possible event can be. The idea of interpretation is that the reader can be able to analyze the clues given in the story and draw a conclusion.

It would be also possible to think that Jen is reading and responding, nevertheless, this would not be a correct choice since this process occurs before and after reading, when the reader predisposes the thoughts and wonders about the text; and at the end, compares it with the reaction about the story.
