Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A county fair has long celebrated 'Founders Day' with a parade about early settlers. Students find treaties, land surveys, farmworker pay records, and oral histories from tribal families and later immigrants. Which new public history plan best demonstrates mastery of the skill?

AUse only the land surveys because official records are enough.

BKeep the parade unchanged because traditions matter most.

CReplace the parade with no event at all.
