Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

The largest North American palladium mine - Montana’s Stillwater mine - is located in the United States.

is located in the United States.
is by the United States.
is through the United States.
is in the United States.

Explanation

Answer: D - The best choice is “is in the United States”

“Is located” indicates the passive voice. Setting aside “located” will not change the sentence’s intended meaning. “By” implies that the mine is near the United States and “through” implies that the mine covers a vast area across several states.
