In Rain Myths, which conclusion about the Madagascan people is most justified by "A Madagascan Myth”?

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The Madagascans had cultural values based on family.

Explanation:

The answer “The Madagascans had religious beliefs based on the land” is not correct, because while land does play the role in "A Madagascan Myth”, the myth does not tell the story of the land.

 The answer “The Madagascans had cultural values based on family.” is correct. In the myth, God Ndriananahary creates the Sun to find and help his son on the earth. Therefore, we can see how much he cared for the family. Additionally, the myth mentions the importance of ancestors and their spirits on earth. For people, dead spirits of the family are important to guide and protect them, Therefore, the family values are important in order to have a good life and happiness, and the love and care for the family can bring great things.

The answer “The Madagascans had religious beliefs based on the sun” is not true. The myth does talk about the creation of the sun, but it does not say the belief system is based upon it.

The answer “The Madagascans had cultural values based on safety.” is not correct. While safety is important in the myth (safety of Ndriananahary’s sons and safety of people protected by ancestors), it is the part of the belief and the need of the people, while cultural and religious values lie in the family values. Therefore, it can be concluded that family is important to have safety, which puts the core of the cultural value in the concept of family.

Circle the incorrect pronoun shift if the student feels ill they should be sent to the nurse

Mandarinka [93]

A pronoun shift is when you modify the pronoun in the same sentence, then the reader is not able to understand who is the subject of the sentence.

In the exemplified sentence the pronoun inserted incorrectly is they, shifting the initially singular subject "The student" (pronouns he or she) to a plural pronominal form.

When correcting, the writer must evaluate which is the desired pronoun, that fits his subject.:

(Singular form) If the student feels ill, he/she should be sent to the nurse.

(Plural form) If the students feel ill, they should be sent to the nurse.

So, the pronoun shift that should be circled is They
