Read the excerpt from "Myths About the Founding Fathers."What about his excellent throwing arm?Throwing a silver dollar across a river may have been quite a feat for a young man, but there is one fact that proves this story wrong. Silver dollars didn’t exist when Washington was a boy. The legend appears to come from a story explained by his biographer (you’ll meet him in a minute). Washington grew up north of Fredericksburg, Virginia, on Ferry Farm. This is very close to the Rappahannock River. His biographer wrote that George and his friends would throw rocks across the river while waiting for the ferry. The Rappahannock was only about 300 feet wide during Washington’s time. Throwing a rock across it would have been easy. Which answer best summarizes this text?George Washington's biographer wrote that George and his friends threw rocks across the river while waiting for the ferry. The Rappahannock River was only about 300 feet wide during Washington’s time. George Washington did not have an excellent throwing arm because the river was not very wide. The myth is not true, even though Washington did like to throw rocks. The myth about a young George Washington throwing a silver dollar across a river is false. Although he did throw rocks across a river as a boy, silver dollars did not exist when Washington was young. George Washington's biographer made up the myth about his excellent throwing arm. George Washington lived near the Rappahannock River in the state of Virginia.
