The correct answer is D. 1909.<\/p>\n
Robert Peary was an American explorer who claimed to have reached the North Pole on April 6, 1909. He was accompanied by Matthew Henson and four Inuit men: Ootah, Seegloo, Egingwah, and Poohtoogoook.<\/p>\n
Peary’s claim was disputed by Frederick Cook, who claimed to have reached the North Pole on April 21, 1908. However, Cook’s claim is now widely considered to be fraudulent.<\/p>\n
Peary’s expedition was well-funded and well-equipped. He had a team of experienced explorers and scientists, and he used the latest technology, including dogsleds, skis, and cameras.<\/p>\n
Peary’s journey to the North Pole was long and difficult. He and his team traveled for months across the ice, and they faced many challenges, including extreme cold, fatigue, and hunger.<\/p>\n
However, Peary was determined to reach the North Pole, and he finally succeeded on April 6, 1909. His achievement was a major milestone in polar exploration, and it made him a national hero in the United States.<\/p>\n
A. 1904 is incorrect because Peary did not reach the North Pole in 1904.<\/p>\n
B. 1905 is incorrect because Peary did not reach the North Pole in 1905.<\/p>\n
C. 1908 is incorrect because Peary did not reach the North Pole in 1908. Cook claimed to have reached the North Pole on April 21, 1908, but his claim is now widely considered to be fraudulent.<\/p>\n
D. 1909 is correct because Peary reached the North Pole on April 6, 1909.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
