Solution
The correct option is A paragraph 1
This is a fact about the history of the lditarod Trail. Since paragraph 1 is devoted to the history of the trail, and particularly its historical uses, this fact would fit in well there. Also, paragraph 1 discusses the early 1920's, whereas para 2 discusses the late 1920's and beyond. This means that a fact about the 1925 medicine run best fits in pan 1 chronologically as well. Therefore (I) is correct.
