Question

Read the sidebar titled “A Champion for the Soil” from Years of Dust.

"Of all the countries of the world," Hugh Bennett said, "we Americans have been the greatest destroyers of land of any race of people barbaric or civilized." Americans changed the land more than "the combined activities of volcanoes, earthquakes, tidal waves, tornadoes and all the excavations of mankind since the beginning of history." Bennett became the first chief of the Soil Conservation Service.

"Big Hugh," the son of a North Carolina cotton planter, was a graduate of the University of North Carolina specializing in soil science. He once asked an unwilling congressional committee to expand the soil conservation program. As he spoke, a cloud of plains dust enveloped Washington. "This, gentleman," he said, "is what I have been talking about." The committee approved his request.



Which image would best support this sidebar?

a portrait of Dorothea Lange
an illustration of a child worker
a map of the Dust Bowl region
a photo of Hugh Bennett speaking

Answer 1

The correct answer is the last option "A photo of Hugh Bennett speaking"

Explanation:

There are multiple reasons why a photo of Hugh Bennet is the most appropriate image to support this sidebar. First of all, in this sidebar, there are different quotes by Hugh Bennet expressing his thoughts or opinions about the impact of Americans in the land. Also, at the end of the sidebar, there is additional information about the life of Hugh Bennet which supports the previous text of the sidebar. Finally, any of the other options seemed to be related to the sidebar, we do not know who Dorothea Lange is, the article is not related to child work, and the Dust Bowl region is not specifically mentioned.
