llustrate? The lady gave a violent start and stared in bewilderment at my companion. "There is no mystery, my dear madam," said [Sherlock Holmes], smiling. "The left arm of your jacket is spattered with mud in no less than seven places. The marks are perfectly fresh. There is no vehicle save a dog-cart which throws up mud in that way, and then only when you sit on the left-hand side of the driver." "Whatever your reasons may be, you are perfectly correct," said she. "I started from home before six, reached Leatherhead at twenty past, and came in by the first train to Waterloo."

Which character trait of Sherlock Holmes does this excerpt from "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle illustrate?

A. His ambitious nature

B. His perfectionist nature

C. His tendency to be cautious

D. His powers of observation

The correct answer is D. His power of observation

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the narrator describes how the detective Sherlock Holmes noticed the stains of mud in the jacket of the woman, and based on this evidence Holmes knew this woman had traveled on a train recently. This discovery requires specialized observation and analysis. Indeed, this shows Sherlock Holmes' power of observation because he was keen enough to notice the smears and then reach a valid conclusion as the woman admits Sherlock's conclusion is true "and came in by the first train to Waterloo."

Answer:

references to nature

Explanation:

In "Pushing the Bear" the author uses several references to nature to reaffirm the value and importance of the land, which is one of the main themes of the narrative.

The references to nature show how cultivating, planting and caring for the land is inherent to the Cherokee people, as a responsibility given by their ancestors and that must be passed on to each generation. Nature is also referred to through family relationships as something extremely inherent in Cherokee culture, in addition to showing how removing these people from their lands leaves them unprotected both physically and spiritually. The spiritual and religious relationships covered in this story also use references from nature to be established.
