Answer:
B) He is discouraged because Leon sees the holy water as only water rather than as a holy symbol.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the story entitled "The Man to Send Rain Clouds." It centers on the life of the people, particularly the traditional and modern practices in Laguna Pueblo. It also shows how <em>outside influences</em> try to blend into the traditional practices of the people.
Father Paul was hesitant to sprinkle holy water during Teofilo's funeral because "holy water" was only used in Catholic practices. It was not used in the traditional Native American way.
<u>Native American people believed that the sprinkling of holy water will give the dead plenty of water once they travel on the other side of life.</u> Father Paul was discouraged because just like other Native American people, Leon sees the holy water as only water rather than as a holy symbol. Leon respects his roots and believes that his dead grandfather's spirit would bring rain.
In the end, Father Paul accepted the task and used the holy water for Teofilo's burial service.
So, this explains the answer.
