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.
B is the answer. That they were able to figure out where the scary noise was coming from
Answer:
D. Disapproving.
Explanation:
<em>Dr. Heidegger's Experiment</em> by Nathaniel Hawthorne tells the story of how a scientist used his four friends in an experiment about water from the fountain of youth. And in their greed to stay young, the 'subjects' fought which resulted in the vase being broken.
The first paragraph of the story introduces the characters or the guests for the experiment. The first is <u>Mr. Medbourne</u>, <em>"now little better than a mendicant"</em>, <u>Colonel Killigrew </u>who <em>"had wasted his best years, and his health and substance, in the pursuit of sinful pleasures, which had given birth to a brood of pains, such as the gout, and divers other torments of soul and body"</em>. Then there is <u>Mr. Gascoigne</u>, <em>"a ruined politician, a man of evil fame"</em> and <em>"the withered gentlewoman, whose name was the </em><u><em>Widow Wycherly</em></u><em>".
</em>
The way the narrator describes these four guests is more of a condescending tone than a happy or agreeable tone. So, we can infer that his tone towards them is a disapproving one.
