Q15:
According to the passage, which of the following resulted from the Lone Wolf decision?
The Supreme Court took on a greater role in Native American affairs.
Native American tribes lost their legal standing as sovereign nations in their dealings with the federal government, but their ownership of tribal lands was confirmed.
The federal government no longer needed to conclude a formal agreement with a Native American tribe in order to carry out policy decisions that affected the tribe.
The federal government began to appropriate tribal lands for distribution to non-Indian settlers.
Native American tribes were no longer able to challenge congressional actions by appealing to the Supreme Court.
The stated answer is "E", but I disagree. I believe it is "C". The article never implied that " Native American tribes were no longer able to challenge congressional actions by appealing to the Supreme Court." It only said that the Indians lost one case, which was the Lone Wolf case. This doesn't indicate that Indians can never go to the Supreme Court again. Instead, there are evidences in the article that points to "C"
Can anyone help with this problem?
