Question

Which statement best describes the point Muir is making in the passage?

Answer 1

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

Answer:

• Sequoia Trees Are Being Cut At An Alarming Rate
• the number of mills and the amount of lumber cut
• Muir's Experience As An Explorer

Explanation:

These questions refer to a passage from the text titled "Save the Redwoods," by John Muir.

In the passage, Muir explains that sawmills close to the Sequoia belt have been selling Big Tree lumber as redwood for many years, to warn about the Sequoia Trees being cut at an alarming rate, not to claim that Sequoia trees are located on the West Coast nor that are useful for building homes.

The detail that appeals to the reader's logic is that only a few mills produce a large amount of lumber cut, not the description of the trees nor Muir's experience as an explorer. Muir's experience as an explorer is what establishes credibility.
