Answer:
The correct answers are:
- The repetition of words and patterns
- The description of how geographical features were made
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the narrator repeats some words and patterns, as, for example: <em>All-the-Elephant-there-was, All-the-Cow-there-was, desert, mountains, Kun, </em>etc.
He repeats all these words and patterns in order to explain some things to the children and make them memorize and learn some concepts in the story. This is a well-known technique authors use when they are writing something for the children, as they are learning through repetition.
In the excerpt, the author tries to explain how some geographical features were made. However, he does it by using his imagination and some legends and stories to make the text simpler and more interesting for the children.
