Read these sentences from Paragraph 5. It took more than three thousand years to make some of the oldest of the Sequoias, trees that are still standing in perfect strength and beauty, waving and singing in the mighty forests of the Sierra. Through all the eventful centuries since Christ's time, and long before that, God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand storms; but he cannot save them from sawmills and fools; this is left to the American people. Which claim do these sentences best support? If people do not educate themselves about sequoias, they are less likely to protect them. The sequoia is a resilient tree, capable of survival in harsh conditions. If people are not careful, they will destroy the sequoias. The sequoia is a remarkable and noble tree.
