Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answers are the following:

14 - B) It gives the origins of the Tai-me as a life-saving creature.

15 - C) to give a picture of the behaviour of grasshoppers.

16 - C) the seasons and human survival.

Explanation:

In question 14, we are told that the Tai-me could give the Kiowas whatever they wanted and provided them with food, thus being a life-saving creature for them.

In question 15, the author uses a figure of speech ("like") to illustrate the way these grasshoppers jump, comparing this behaviour to something the reader might be more familiar with.

In question 16, we can infer that animals were scarce in winter so the two brothers had to figure out how they would survive in each season and adapt to food scarcity.
