In paragraph 3 of Selection 2, how does the author develop the idea that “for the early people of Mesa Verde, the land was every
thing?” A)by listing the resources found on the land and their uses
B)by describing the land with vivid and colorful language
C)by explaining how the land sheltered people from weather
D)by comparing the land with places the people had lived before
(the paragrahg)
3 Today the land is silent, save for the wind rustling the trees and the song of a canyon wren. But for the early people of Mesa Verde, the land was everything. It provided water, soil for crops, plants and animals for food, stone and wood for houses and tools, clay for pottery, and fiber for clothing and baskets. The land was also significant because topography determined where and how people moved and communicated.
<em>I believe it's A because </em>you'd list resources for something important and they didn't describe that land in a colorful language and they didn't talk about the sheltering nor did they compare the land to anywhere else
