Selat ini menghubungkan Teluk San Francisco dan Samudra Pasifik. Faktanya, seorang penjelajah Inggris, Sir Francis Drake, pernah ke selat ini pada tahun 1579 dan pramuka Spanyol juga mengarungi selat itu pada tahun 1769. Namun, baru pada tahun 1772 tentara yang dikirim oleh Portola memperhatikan selat ini. Selat tersebut kemudian dinamai Golden Gate oleh seorang penjelajah Amerika, John Charles Fremont, pada tahun 1846.

Dari informasi teks ini, kita jadi tahu kalau yang dibicarakan dalam paragraf dua adalah sejarah jembatan Golden Gate.

Dengan demikian, jawaban yang benar adalah "E. The history of Golden Gate Bridge."
