Question

Which additional detail can best clarify the information in the passage?

a description of Viking ships and navigational techniques

a reference to clues suggesting the Viking origin of the site

a reference to the origin of the saga as a form of Viking literature

a mention of other major explorations led by Helge Ingstad

Answer 1

For many years, the traditional story, or saga, about the Viking discovery of a land west of Greenland was thought to be a myth. There was no solid archaeological evidence that the Vikings had actually reached the shores of North America. Then, in 1960, a Norwegian named Helge Ingstad discovered a site on the northern tip of the Canadian island of Newfoundland. That's where a group of low mounds turned out to be the remains of a Viking settlement.
