• A. Sentence $10$ concludes that the theory mentioned in sentence $9$ is wrong
• B. Sentence $10$ adds to information reported in sentence $9$
• C. Sentence $10$ provides an example to illustrate an idea presented in sentence $9$
• D. Sentence $10$ poses asn argument that contradicts the point made in sentence $9$
• E. Sentence $10$ introduces a new source that confirms the claims made in sentence $9$

Answer 1

The correct option is B Sentence $10$ adds to information reported in sentence $9$

While sentence 9 states that research into Powhatan culture suggests that the incident that Smith described as an execution might simply have been a ritual display of strength; sentence 10 adds to this information by saying that far from being in any mortal danger (in this scenario), Smith may just have been a character in a drama in which even Pocahontas was playing a role. Thus B is the best answer.

The other choices are incorrect answers as they do not fit the context.
