Read this excerpt from "The Spirit of Alcatraz."

Protest leaders say the occupation led to new federal
laws that recognized American Indian tribes and gave
them more control over their daily lives. Additionally,
the government decided to drop its plan to sell
Alcatraz to developers. Today, the island is a National
Historic Landmark that sees more than a million
visitors each year.
But activists say their most important accomplishment
was changing the way American Indians looked at
themselves. As activist John Trudell puts it, "Alcatraz
put me back into my community and helped me
remember who I am. It was a rekindling of the spirit."
Which statement best describes the author's
viewpoint?
A. Time spent on Alcatraz Island was wasted, because
the demands of the American Indians were not met.
B. It was a dangerous mistake to spend so much time
on Alcatraz Island, and it damaged the landmark.
C. American Indians influenced the US government
and raised the spirit of their community by occupying
Alcatraz.
D. Alcatraz Island is an important landmark that can
best be handled by government officials.
