In the spirit world, the trickster god Raven grew bored. He decided to leave and fly over the earth, but he found it was in total darkness. The selfish Sky Chief had been hoarding daylight from the world. Raven wanted to be able to see the earth as he flew over it, so he decided to play a trick on the chief and steal the light. Raven crept into the chief’s dwelling. He appeared as a baby, with raven hair and black eyes. The chief's daughter adopted the child, never knowing that he was in fact Raven the trickster. —"The Raven and the First Men: The Beginnings of the Haida"
What inference can be made based on the daughter’s actions in this passage?
A. The daughter was looking for a baby.
B. The daughter does not listen to her father.
C. The daughter also wanted to steal the light.
D. The daughter is caring toward other.
Answer:
D. The daughter is caring toward others.
Explanation:
From the excerpt, the inference that can be gotten from the story is that the daughter of the Sky Chief is caring towards others because quite unlike her father, she is willing to show compassion to others, even a baby she does not know.
It shows her tender heart and compassion towards others as she adopted the child even though it was really Raven the trickster.
Answer:
Alas! That was so unfortunate.
Ah, the magic show at the end was a total surprise!
Eh! I didn’t quite get it. Can you please repeat it?
Oh dear! I feel really bad for what happened to you.
Hey! Look out for the car.
Explanation:
<span>Cupid delights in deception.
The last line especially shows how much enjoyment Cupid gets from tricking people. It shows that the most important thing to him is "joy, and only joy". You can tell that this joy comes from his playing tricks because of the line "</span><span>But word and wisdom is a snare". A snare is a trap, which shows that he uses his intelligence and words to create traps that give him joy. </span>
