Answer: C. Gideon’s position as a tribal medicine man dictates that he not betray the secret to outsiders.

Explanation:

In the story, the boy from the Farquars family almost goes blind when a snake spits venom in his eyes. Luckily for him, Gideon helps him with some herbs used by the native people. When doctors come into the Farquars house to investigate this event, Gideon refuses to reveal the medicine he used. As stated in the story itself,<em> "They all realized he would never give in."</em> The correct option is, therefore, C.

Need an essay on ''personality''..(150 words)
jeyben [28]
I’m pretty sure everyone has their own unique personality but I don’t think some people know the true meaning of personality personality is what makes you who you are it defines everything you do. Some people have bad personalities they may develop their personality from someone that grew up watching or personal trauma . Personality is not just something that define to you it’s something that is unique to everyone is something that everyone has in nobodies is the same some people may think that there’s is the same but they’re not everyone is different in their own way. If someone is loving their personality is caring and compassionate if someone’s personality is mean they’re hateful if someone’s personality is weird they are quirky personality makes up a lot about a person it also affects people’s thinking about the pacific person
