Sacagawea translated for which pair of explorers on the expedition?

• A. Christopher Columbus and his crew
• B. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark
• C. Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens
• D. James Cook and Ferdinand Magellan

Answer: (B)

Sacagawea translated for Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the leaders of the Lewis and Clark expedition. As an interpreter and guide for the Corps of Discovery, she bridged language gaps with the Shoshone and other tribes, helping with negotiations and securing horses to cross the mountains. Her translation and diplomatic help were crucial for communication, safety, and progress westward, contributing to the expedition’s success in mapping the western United States. The other names listed are from different eras or professions (explorers from earlier times or famous writers), so they aren’t connected to Sacagawea’s translation work.
