Select the best interpretation of the metaphor embedded in the quote, “when we get them under, holding them there until they are thoroughly soaked.”

A. American should be a melting pot of many different cultures.
B. Immerse American Indians so deeply in white European culture that Native cultures are effectively eliminated.
C. American Indians attending boarding schools should be baptized as Baptists.
D. American Indian students needed to learn how to swim.

Answer 1

B.

Why?: C and D describe literal meanings, and A does not display what the quote describes. Leaving B, the answer with a meaningful answer that explains what is meant to be said, as being “throughly soaked” it could also mean that Native cultures have washed away.
