While doing research for a thesis paper about how human migration and population distribution can greatly alter or destroy the n
atural landscape, you come across an article discussing American settlers traveling to the Great Plains to farm. Which sentence from the article best supports your thesis? Many of the farmers on the Great Plains soon gave up because they could not farm the land. Traveling to the Great Plains often took months because most settlers used ox-pulled carts. Over time, the settlers who stayed were able to adapt and modify the landscape for farming. American Indians posed a challenge for Americans who settled on American Indianlands. Most American settlers had crude, ineffective tools and would have benefited from a tractor.
The correct answer is "Over time, the settlers who stayed where able to adapt and modify the landscape of farming."
<em>The sentence of the article that best supports the thesis is "Over time, the settlers who stayed where able to adapt and modify the landscape of farming."</em>
The settlers that traveled to the plains and stayed there were determined to make things work. In the beginning, they lacked the infrastructure or proper conditions and tool to work the field, but through perseverance, patience, trial, and error, they could modify and adapt the land conditions to have good farming activity and good crops.
