According to the passage, Turner makes which of the following connections in his Frontier Thesis?
I.A connection between American individualism and economic equality
II.A connection between geographical expansion and social change
III.A connection between social change and financial prosperity
The correct option is D I and II only
This is a slightly tricky question.
Look at these lines in the second paragraph -
“Turner claimed that the frontier produced the individualism that is the hallmark of American culture, and that this individualism in turn promoted democratic institutions and economic equality”
So Statement I is valid.
Look at the first few lines of the 1st passage -
“The settlement of the United States has occupied traditional historians since 1893 when Frederick Jackson Turner developed his Frontier Thesis, a thesis that explained American development in terms of westward expansion.”
Westward expansion= geographical change
American development= Social change (that is what this passage is all about)
So Statement II is also true.
Statement III is not supported by any line in the passage.
So the answer is (d).
I and II only
