Choices

4

Choice-A

Choice A cautious is incorrect because “cautious use” implies people were hesitant or careful about adopting the script. This meaning conflicts with the idea that the writing system was easy to learn and widely adopted by the Cherokee people.

Wrong cautious

5

Choice-B

Choice B is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of the writing system created by John Ross. In this context, “widespread” means widely accepted or practiced.

Correct widespread

6

Choice-C

“Accidental” is illogical in this context because it means “not deliberate,” and since one had to learn the system, it’s unclear how anyone could have used it accidentally.

Wrong accidental

7

Choice-D

Choice D, uncommon, is incorrect because the sentence states that over 90 percent of the Cherokee people could read and write the script, showing that it was widely used. Calling it “uncommon” would directly contradict this evidence of its popularity and broad adoption.

Wrong uncommon
