Explanation:

The excerpt we are studying here belongs to an Iroquois creational myth passed down from generation to generation. The Iroquois are a group of Native-American tribes who share a language, the Iroquoian.

The myth begins with a devoted husband doing anything he can for his pregnant wife. Although he knew it was forbidden, he dug up the roots of the Great Tree just to bring her the bark she wanted. Out of the options given, the one that best shows his devotion is the first one: a man who aimed to please his pregnant wife. From that description, we can already assume his devotion for her. His goal was to please her, to make her happy no matter the consequences.
