Baraq

The statement that best describes a goal supported by the author of this passage is the "assimilation of Native Americans into mainstream society."

  • This is evident when the author stated that "still the fact . . . remains that it is impossible upon the reservation to cultivate the moral sentiment and purity of life, and so lay the foundation for the true home."

  • This implies that the reservation is not the best means to improve the living standards of the Native Indians.

  • Thus, considering the preceding experiments of reservation, including the establishment of schools in the area, there is still uncertainty about the improvement of Native American's life.

  • Hence, the author believed that it is better to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream society than reservation.

Therefore, in this case, the correct answer is option A.
