Reading the passage
The government tried to recognize individual private ownership through the 1906 Act. We know that effort failed and that its model didn't match traditional ownership. This question asks for a supported fact about those attempts, so we should check the details without assuming the answer must simply repeat that they failed.
Working the answers
- A
A 160-acre application limit doesn't tell us how much land families traditionally owned. The law's limit isn't evidence that lawmakers assumed everyone had stayed below it.
- B
This confuses Native practice with the government's approach. After the semicolon, “fish camps, streams, and bays” describes traditional ownership. The preceding clause says the individual-property model failed to recognize that arrangement; the list isn't what the government focused on establishing.
- C
The proclamations created the forest. Congress passed the Act intended to recognize private ownership.
- D
No widespread public outcry is mentioned.
- ECorrect
The forest was established through proclamations “between 1902 and 1909,” while Congress passed the Act in 1906. The ownership effort therefore began before the forest's establishment was complete.
