read the excerpt from the journals of captain cook and then answer the question that follows.

"from what i have said of the natives of new holland they may appear to some to be the most wretched people upon earth; but in reality they are far more happier than we europeans, being wholy unacquainted not only with the superfluous, but with the necessary conveniences so much sought after in europe; they are happy in not knowing the use of them. they live in a tranquility which is not disturbed by the inequality of condition. the earth and sea of their own accord furnishes them with all things necessary for life. they covet not magnificient houses, household-stuff, etc.; they live in a warm and fine climate, and enjoy every wholesome air, so that they have very little need of cloathing; and this they seem to be fully sencible of, for many to whom we gave cloth, etc., left it carelessly upon the sea beach and in the woods, as a thing they had no manner of use for; in short, they seem'd to set no value upon anything we gave them, nor would they ever part with anything of their own for any one article we could offer them. this, in my opinion, argues that they think themselves provided with all the necessarys of life, and that they have no superfluities."

Read the excerpt from suffragists' "great demand" banner. in 1917, more than one thousand women stood before the white house in a cold, pouring rain, holding silent vigil to demand a constitutional amendment to extend the vote to them. their quest to be enfranchised by law was known at the time as the great demand. the smithsonian's great demand banner, as it came to be called, declares in bold words and style the determination of the women who made and carried it. their campaign on behalf of women sought to move america one step closer to fulfilling the nation's long-deferred promise of equality under the law. which statements about this excerpt are correct? check all that apply.
