Read the article Wilderness Bob by Janelle Gray. For the following questions choose the correct answer (a, b, or c).

At 3:30 one morning in July 1932 a man named Bob Marshall went to climb as many peaks in the Adirondack Mountains as he could in one day. Bob Marshall loved to walk and he loved to write after that. He loved facts, too. He knew that he’d climbed 13,600 feet that day. He kept statistics on everything.

But most of all, Bob Marshall loved wilderness — natural lands with no houses, roads,1 or towns. When he wasn’t walking in the wilderness, he was working to save it. By the time he died, at the age of thirty-eight, he had written important books and articles on the protection of nature, he had helped to form the Wilderness Society, a group that works to protect wild lands.

Today, a great area of wilderness in Montana, where he often walked, is called the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area.

Robert “Bob” Marshall was born on January 2nd, 1901. When Bob was fifteen years old, he climbed his first mountain. Every summer after that, he and his brother explored the Adirondack forests. Bob always wanted to be a forester. His dream came true. He worked in Montana and Idaho, where he met a grizzly bear. He lived in Alaska for over a year. There he explored on foot and by boat; he went to all-night dances with the Eskimos. Then he wrote a book called Arctic Village. He got money for the book and shared it with the villagers (each person got $18). In the 1930s roads appeared across wild lands. People cut down forests. Bob Marshall thought that forests were also to enjoy. In a magazine article he explained why some lands should stay wild. He wrote the rules that didn’t let people build on many wild lands, and he also worked to make picnic grounds and ski areas to bring people from cities to the beauties of the wilderness.
