Should the writer keep or delete the underlined phrase? A Keep it, because it adds descriptive language that helps readers visualize the area in the North Cascades where the goats were relocated.

B Keep it, because it draws on evidence from the third paragraph to make a more persuasive case for why the North Cascades are a good place to resettle the goats.

C Keep it, because it creates an emotionally resonant image of an environment in which the goats would be happy.

D Delete it, because it undermines the passage’s argument by emphasizing the fact that the goats will no longer be seen by park visitors.

E Delete it, because it introduces details that are irrelevant to the passage’s argument about the need to remove mountain goats from Olympic National Park.
