Answer:

The best option is letter D. enemies, a process they believed allowed them to ingest the courage of their enemies.

Explanation:

We have two big problems in the original sentence: punctuation and ambiguity. Letter D is the only option that solves both problems correctly. Let's take a look at them:

1. t is reported that some native tribes used to eat the livers of their slain <u>enemies which they believed </u> allowed them to ingest their courage. --> The underlined portion is problematic. Since there is no punctuation, it sounds as if "which" refers to "enemies", when it actually refers to the process of eating the livers.

2. they believed allowed them to ingest their courage. --> Whose courage? The enemies', of course, but "their" can have two antecedents in the sentence (enemies and tribes). It would be better to eliminate this ambiguity.

Thus, if we use letter D, we can correct the issues above:

It is reported that some native tribes used to eat the livers of their slain enemies<u>, a process they believed allowed them to ingest the courage of their enemies.</u>

D. constant dusk

Explanation:

According to a different source, this is the passage and the options that come with this question:

In the distant past, the Philippines was populated by a race of fairies who were unaffected by unpredictable weather. They minded neither sweltering heat nor freezing cold. They did not divide the day by hours of light and darkness. In fact, they lived in a constant dim twilight and never gave it any thought.

A. moderate temperatures

B. constant darkness

C. moderate sunlight

D. constant dusk

The setting of a story refers to the time and place in which the story takes place. In this case, we are told that the "race of fairies" in the story did not care about light or darkness, and that they lived in a "constant dim twilight." The best association we can make to this is that the fairies lived in constant dusk. Dusk refers to the darkest stage of twilight which occurs after sunset and just before night.
