Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read this excerpt from "The World on Turtle's Back."
The conflict between the twins continued, and for some reason, the grandmother favored the left-handed twin. The right handed twin became angry and resentful. He was the truthful twin who always did the right thing. The left handed twin was deceitful and did everything backward. You could never trust him.
The twins represented the two ways of the world which are in all people. The Indians did not call these good and evil. They called them the straight mind and the crooked mind, the righteous man and the devious man, the right and the left.
The main purpose of this excerpt is to
a. demonstrate that right handed people are good and left handed people are bad. b. explain why some people do the right thing and others do not. c. provide the reason why the grandmother favored the left handed twin. d. clarify what the Iroquois considered the two different sides of human nature.
Answer:
d. clarify what the Iroquois considered the two different sides of human nature.
Explanation:
The text shows that the Iroquois believed that the twins represented human nature, showing that humanity was not completely good and perfect, as it had a tortuous and lying side, living with the good and wise side. It was important that humanity knew how to balance these two natures and let each one overlap at the right times and that they will always promote progress. In this case, we can consider that the letter D is the correct option to represent the main objective of the text.
