Read the following passage and choose the stem (a, b, c, or d) that best answers each of the questions about it. Lieutenant Ives was one of the first non-Indians to see the canyon. He wrote, “It seems intended by nature that the Colorado River .. shall be forever unvisited.” In 1869, John Wesley Powell became the first to explore the Grand Canyon. The rapids of the Colorado River and the narrow, twisting canyon walls were extremely dangerous. Powell set off with ten men and four boats and emerged, several weeks later, with six men and two boats. The prediction made by Lieutenant Ives couldn’t have been more wrong. Today, millions visit the Grand Canyon each year. Many come only for a quick look. But for those who want to explore the canyon, there are plenty of opportunities. You can explore the canyon by helicopter. Going up and down the canyon sides can be a lot like being on a roller coaster. You can hike down to the bottom of the canyon. It’s a two-day round trip, and you must bring lots of water. Once there, you can stay at the Phantom Ranch, which has a campsite and dining hall. If you prefer, you can make thi: trip by mule. On foot or on muleback, you can also reach the village of the Havasupai, at the west end of the canyon. Finally, you can go rafting on the Colorado River. Because of the danger, it you want to go alone you'll need permission from the park superintendent. But you can also go with a group on a weeklong rafting and camping trip. The groups use rafts that are linked together and are too big to tip over. In this way you can enjoy the rapids without risking your life. Question 46: What can be the best title of the passage?
