Explicação

This question is asking for the correct words to fill in the blanks in a passage about the image of the West that Turner created through his rhetoric. The passage is about Turner's description of the frontier as the line between civilization in the East and something in the West. He also drew a contrast between the land as developed in the East and something in the West. This description reinforced Americans' perception that the United States was destined to settle and something all of the territory from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. The words provided are "purchase", "useless", "indigenous", "Americanize", "savagery", and "free". The correct words to fill in the blanks are "savagery", "free", and "Americanize". This is because Turner is contrasting the developed East with the "savagery" of the West, implying that the West is wild and uncivilized. He is also suggesting that the United States is destined to "Americanize" all of the territory from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, implying that they will bring their civilization and culture to these areas.
