Choices

5

Choice-A

Choice A is incorrect because describing Wauneka’s effort as “impartial,” or not partial or biased, wouldn’t make sense in context. The passage emphasizes that she continuously worked to promote public health specifically throughout the Navajo homeland and for speakers of Diné bizaad; that focus shows a targeted, committed effort rather than a neutral, detached stance.

Wrong impartial

6

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect because the text emphasizes that Wauneka’s effort to promote public health as a Navajo Nation legislator was continuous and extensive, involving wide travels and the authoring of a medical dictionary. Because this work clearly involved care and dedication, it wouldn’t make sense to describe it as “offhand,” or casual and informal.

Wrong offhand

7

Choice-C

Choice C is the correct answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of Annie Dodge Wauneka’s work as a Navajo Nation legislator. As used in this context, “persistent” means existing continuously. The text states that Wauneka "continuously worked to promote public health,” traveling extensively and authoring a medical dictionary; this indicates that Wauneka’s effort was persistent.

Correct persistent

8

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect because “mandatory,” meaning required or compulsory, implies the work was done out of obligation by rule. The passage describes Wauneka’s ongoing, self-driven public-health work; nothing indicates it was performed because it was required, so “mandatory” is not a good fit.

Wrong mandatory
