Answer 2

The correct answer is "All of the land south of the Arkansas belongs to the Kiowas and the Comanches, and I don't want to give away any of it." The reason is because the word assertive means to have or show a confident and forceful personality. By making the state meant “I don’t want to give any of it away” the author is conveying confidence in opposing the intended decision to give away the land.
