American Indians played a central role in the war known as the American Revolution. To them, however, the dispute between the colonists and England was peripheral. For American Indians the conflict was a war for American Indian independence, and whichever side they chose, they lost it. Mary Brant was a powerful influence among the Iroquois. She was a Mohawk, the leader of the society of all Iroquois matrons, and the widow of Sir William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Her brother, Joseph Brant, is the best-known American Indian warrior of the Revolution, yet she may have exerted even more influence in the confederacy than he did. She used her influence to keep the western tribes of Iroquois loyal to the English king, George 111. When the colonists won the war, she and her tribe had to abandon their lands and retreat to Canada. On the other side, Nancy Ward held positions of authority in the Cherokee nation. She had fought as a warrior in the war against the Creeks and as a reward for her heroism was made "Beloved Woman" of the tribe. This office made her chief of the women’ s council and a member of the council of chiefs. She was friendly with the white settlers and supported the Patriots during the Revolution. Yet the Cherokees too lost their land.
How did Ward gain her position of authority?
选项
A、By bravery in battle.
B、By marriage to a chief.
C、By joining the confederacy.
D、By being born into a powerful family.
答案
A
解析
此题为根据上下文推理题。文章倒数第四句指出“她在与Creeks人作战的过程中表现勇敢,作为报偿,部落给了她很高的职位”。B意为“通过嫁给部落首领”, C意为“通过加入南部联邦”,与文章内容不符。D意为“通过出生于有影响的家庭”,文中未提到,所以也不正确。
