<span>C. Gideon’s position as a tribal medicine man dictates that he not betray the secret to outsiders.
It is clear from the beginning of this passage that Gideon is not happy to be there. He is described as speaking "grudgingly" and "incredulously", showing that he is unhappy. He then goes on to firmly state that he will not give up the secrets of the medicine to outsiders. </span>
The choices for this question can be found elsewhere and as follows:
A.)about supernatural beings.
B.)a tale of King Arthur’s knights.
C.) about an idealized hero.
D.) a tragic story of betrayed lovers.
I think the correct answer is option B. A medieval romance narrative in prose or poetry always tells a tale of King Arthur’s knights.
Based on the context of the paragraph, I would say A. Before.
