One of the first hints we can find about gods in Nectar in a Sieve is found in Chapter 3, when Rukmani talks about the difficulties her and her partner, Nathan, have to conceive a child. In her visit to her mother, who is a very spiritual person, Rukmani criticizes the god's willingness to help human beings:
"My mother, whenever I paid her a visit, would make me accompany her to a temple, and together we would pray and pray before the deity, imploring for help until we were giddy. But the Gods have other things to do; they cannot attend to the pleas of every suppliant who dares to raise his cares to heaven. And so the years rolled by and still we had only one child, and that a daughter."
Another example of Rukmani's reference to gods, is found in her description of her youngest son's health condition, as well as her struggling to help him. This can be found in Chapter 16:
"I gazed at the small tired face, soothed by sleep as it had not been for many nights, and even as I puzzled about the change, profound gratitude flooded through me, and it seemed to me that the Gods were not remote, not unheedful, since they had heard his cries and stilled them as if by a miracle."

Answer:
D. The image indicates the laborer's height compared with Don Quixote's.
Explanation:
In this text, we learn of one of the initial adventures of Don Quixote. Don Quixote meets a farm labourer and convinces him to join him. The text describes some characteristics of the laborer, such as the fact that he was honest, but not very clever. However, the text does not say anything about his height when compared to that of Don Quixote. We are able to gain this information only by looking at the image, as the height of the two becomes clearer.
Answer:
I might need more context to this question. However, if you're referring to easier ways to compare sources with mental tasks, I would say to underline key words, bold / slanted words and / or look for short definitions at the bottom of your reading.
Usually reading over your notes should help. The answer you're looking for is in plain sight. I promise.
Hope this helps!
