II. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer
In the early 1800s, an Indian woman named Sacajawea helped explore the Northwest Territory of the United States. She went
with Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on their expedition to chart that area.
Sacajawea helped by creating good feelings between the explorers and the Native Americans living in the Northwest. She
helped the explorers talk with the Indians. She showed them wild foods that were good to eat. Once the Lewis and the Clark party

met the Lemhi Shoshoni Indians. The Shoshoni were unfriendly, but Lewis and Clark needed their help. The two explorers sent
Sacajawea to speak to them. She was delighted to find that her brother was their chief. They provided Lewis and Clark with
everything they needed.
The legend that Sacajawea led the expedition is not true. However, without her help in getting horses, supplies, and other
guides, Lewis and Clark could not have completed their journey.
