Respuesta :

I'd say the sentence "In 1867, the United States bought Alaska from Russia for $7 million"

Answer:

In 1867, the United States bought Alaska from Russia for about $7 million.

Explanation:

The correct sentence is the only one that answers the question when by  providing the exact year and particular feature about the purchase - that it cost seven million dollars.

The rest of the statements are wrong because they describe what Americans thought about the acquisition of Alaska and what Alaska's riches actually are.
