Answer 1

The summaries do not accurately reflect Geronimo's resistance to reservation life, his flight, capture, and later life as a spectacle for Anglo society, as well as the broader Native American history detailed in the passage.

Step-by-step explanation:

None of the provided summaries perfectly align with the details of the passage, which focus on Geronimo's resistance to the reservation system and his eventual capture, after which he became a spectacle for Anglo society. The passage details Geronimo's flight from the reservation, his leadership, and the strife his band endured, both on and off the reservation, culminating in their surrender and Geronimo’s later life.

The passage also touches upon broader aspects of Native American history, including the effects of white expansion and conflicts among different tribes following displacement.
