Reading the passage
This is open-ended: the supported claim could concern the laws, the court cases, or the historical practices. We don't have to guess the exact detail in advance. We do need to keep what the account establishes separate from a plausible story about why events happened.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
The third paragraph places the hunting prohibition in 1910, then says the 1972 MMPA “continued the prohibition” while adding an Alaska Native exemption. That timeline supports a ban on Alaska Native sea otter hunting during the intervening period.
- B
The exemption is described in terms of authentic native articles and traditional handicrafts. We aren't told that it specifically names sea otter products.
- C
Russian occupation is mentioned, but pressure by Russian hunters on their government is not.
- D
No population figures or recovery trend are given. A hunting ban doesn't tell us how successfully the population recovered.
- E
The testimony establishes earlier uses of sea otters, not that they were hunted more often than every other marine animal.
