Rhetorical synthesis: advanced

Problem

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • In 1978, Sámi activists staged protests to block the construction of a dam on the Alta River in Norway.
  • The dam would disrupt Sámi fishing and reindeer herding.
  • The dam was ultimately built, but the Alta conflict had a lasting impact.
  • It brought international attention to the issue of Sámi rights.
  • It led to a set of 2005 legal protections establishing Sámi rights to lands, waters, and resources.
The student wants to make and support a generalization about the Alta conflict. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
