Read the following excerpt from Leslie Marmon Silko’s story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds."
Setler [38]

Answer:

He is considered to be an outsider.

Explanation:

Leslie Silko's short story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" is about an old man's death and how his children were stuck between following their traditional burial practices and also being involved with the new Christian religion. The story deals with religion, tradition, creativity, community, etc.

In the given excerpt from the story, Leon's behavior/ reaction to Father Paul's inquiry about their old father Teofilo shows their refusal to let the Christian priest know anything. The truth was, they had found Teofilo dead and had taken his body in the truck, but Leon's insistence that <em>"Everything is O.K." </em>shows their reluctance to inform the Father about anything.

Thus, the correct answer is that Father Paul is considered to be an outsider, especially by the very traditional Leon and his beliefs.

Conditional statement, hypothesis, and conclusion

Another name for an if-then statement is a conditional statement. Every conditional has two parts. The part following if is the hypothesis and the part following then is the conclusion.

A conditional statement is a statement that is usually in the “if-then” form. It is used to express unreal or possible situations. Conditional statements are made up of two parts; the part that follows if (hypothesis or conditional part), and the part that follows then (the main part or conclusion). When writing a conditional statement, the order of arrangement of the two parts is not important but a comma should be used to separate them.
