2. PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
OA "Her story has intrigued and inspired readers and
historians ever since she was rescued." ( Paragraph 1)
OB "There were no other ships large enough to make the
trip on the coast at the time. Soon, the rescue mission
and the lone woman were forgotten." ( Paragraph 6)
OC "Over the next 18 years, rumors traveled around the
mainland that San Nicolas Island might still be
inhabited." ( Paragraph 7)
OD "Before she died the priests baptized her and gave her
the Spanish name Juana Maria."

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
