The function of the transition "yet" in the sentence is to show an exception. (Option 3)

"Yet" as a conjunction is used as a way to show contrast or to present information that is surprisingly different from the information that was presented before. In this case, the information preceding "yet" was that there were plans for a railroad long before the Civil War. After the conjunction, the information contrasts with "the plans" by saying that officials did not agree on where to have the railroad.

How is the theme of the relationship between humans and nature discussed in each piece? "the way to rainy mountain" and ''How th

ollegr [7]

1. The Way to Rainy Mountain is the story of the Kiowa Tribe. The Kiowa tribe relied on hunting for sustenance. Their history says that they emerged from a log. Their existence is very spontaneous and natural. The tribe was also decimated by natural disasters. The tribe didn't last long. Thus, the human-nature relationship in this literary piece is that Humans cannot exist without nature. Nature decided the longevity of the tribe. Nature dictated who will survive to this day as with natural selection.

2. In the piece "How the World was Made" there is one central character, Maheo. Maheo is all powerful and was responsible for all creation. The human-nature relationship in this story is that of a creator and his creation. Here, Maheo created nature and decided their fate.

The two literary pieces are opposites when it comes the their relationship with nature. Both present great contrasts into how each tribe regarded nature.
