Answer 2

Answer:

The sentences from this creation story that best show the elements of an earth diver story are:

1. "The Hoga came down from above and found Earth covered with water." This sentence shows the element of a cosmogonic water, the beginning of everything.

2. Another important element of these stories is the use of animals to find useful  land, many stories include several failed atempts: "So they sent the Muskrat down into the water," "He was drowned," "Then they sent Loon down," "Then they sent Beaver down into the water."

3. Finally one of the animals is able to bring back bits mud to start building the land: "Then Crawfish dived into the water," "When he came up there was a little mud in his claws," "But the people took the mud out of his claws and made the land."

Hopefully this helps you.
