Answer:

Though he wants to promote his religious beliefs, he is willing to make some sacrifices.

Explanation:

In ''The Man to Send Rain Clouds'', we follow a real life events of people of Laguna Pueblo Native Americans in New Mexico Indian Reservation. Ken and Leon's grandpa Teofilo died in peace under a cottonwood tree while herding sheep. They want to bury him in Laguna Tribe's tradition which includes speacial way of clothing, burying before the sun sets and so on. Louise, Leon`s wife, suggests that Father Paul should sprinkle the holy water as a part of burial in order to provide water for Teofilo in afterlife if he gets thirsty. At first Leon doesn't accept this, as holy water represents part of Christian tradition, but then it occurs to him that would encourage Teofilo to send them rainy clouds which would end the dry period and help with the agriculture. So he pays a visit to Father Paul and asks him to attend burial and sprinkle the holy water. Father Paul rejects the invitation at first, but after a little consideration of all the factors such as respecting the tradition of Laguna Tribe and their will to keep it, also his wish to be well accepted from the people of the tribe, as he is aware that if he wants to spread Christianity in a decent way in which people would change their beliefs and religion because they really want to and not because someone force them to do it, he decides to go and play his part at Teofilo's burial.

The discovery that the men we had scorned as peasant guerrillas were, in fact, a lethal, determined enemy and the casualty lists
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The best option is letter A) felt their efforts were not successful.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are analyzing here was taken from a memoir called "A Rumor of War" by Philip Caputo. Caputo recalls his experience at the Vietnam War and how he believes America's involvement in it was all for nothing.

As we can tell from the excerpt, soldiers did not seem well prepared at first. They misjudged their enemy, thinking of them as mere "peasant guerrillas". The enemies turned out to be lethal, and more and more American soldiers died each week. That "broke [their] confidence", which means they felt their efforts were not successful. In the book, the author even says he wishes he had different war stories to tell instead of the ones he actually lived. Battles in Vietnam were exhausting and never-ending; the enemy was seemingly undefeatable, hiding in jungles filled with traps and snipers.
