Answer 1

Felt compassion for the woman

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) felt compassion for the woman because she was scared.

Based on the animal’s behavior toward the woman it is reasonable to conclude that the animals felt compassion for the woman because she was scared.

We are referring to an excerpt of the Iroquois Creation Myth “The World on Turtle’s Back.”

The excerpt clearly says that “the birds of the sea joined together to save the woman and they broke her fall. The Great Sea Turtle of floated in the ocean and received the woman on his back without harm...the woman felt helpless but the animals were determined to save her. That is why we can conclude that based on the animal’s behavior toward the woman it is reasonable to conclude that the animals felt compassion for the woman because she was scared.
