Answer:

a. Where did the grass and plants come from?

b. Why do turtles have strange markings on their shells?

e. How was the Earth created?

Explanation:

"The Earth On Turtle's Back" by Michael J. Caduto and Joseph Bruchac tells the myth or how the Native Americans believe to be the origin of life and the whole earth. It tells the story of how things began, how some phenomenons came about, and what led to the creation of the earth that we're living on now.

In the myth, the Onondaga people believe that the earth was formed as a result of the fall of the Ancient Chief's wife from Skyland. In their attempt to keep her safe, the animals tried hard to find land for the pregnant woman. In her fall, she had some seeds from the tree she was leaning on, and when the earth was made on the turtle's back, the seeds were put and they grew to make the earth. Also, the myth also tells the story of how the turtles have strange markings on their shells, which was a result of Muskrat's paw with the earth that he'd placed on the turtle's back to make a safe place for the woman.

Thus, the correct answers are option a. b, and e.
