Question
It gives me pleasure to announce to Congress that the
benevolent policy of the Government, steadily pursued for
nearly thirty years, in relation to the removal of the indians
beyond the white settlements is approaching to a happy
consummation. Two important tribes have accepted the
provision made for their removal at the last session of
Congress, and it is believed that their example will induce
the remaining tribes also to seek the same obvious
advantages.
Which words from the excerpt most contribute to the positive tone?
• A. 'steadily pursued and "the last session'
• B. 'benevolent and advantages
O C. 'removal and "beyond white settlements*
D. 'policy" and 'provision'
