Question

Revise the sentence at [16] if needed to make it more relevant.

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. Polk worked tirelessly to expand the borders of the nation.
• C. Polk worked to reign in unchecked expansion of the frontiers.
• D. Polk stopped at nothing short of war to expand the borders of the nation.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Polk worked tirelessly to expand the borders of the nation.

Though the first sentence of the paragraph states 'diverse issues', the paragraph goes on to discuss only the issue of national borders that were increased under Polk's term as President. So, in this context, option B is the best answer. The other options are incorrect as they are inappropriate for the given context.
