Answer:

D: It features a reference to a supernatural being.

Explanation:

"The Beginnings of the Maasai" is a creation myth that talks about the creation or beginning of the Maasai tribe and how their life revolves around the divine and nature. The given passage is also evidence of how the tribe revere and maintain a relationship with certain entities of god and their overall 'love' for all things including nature.

In the given passage, the narrator reveals how the people take their relationship with <em>"Enkai" </em>as an essential part of their lives. The god also exudes different entities depending on his 'mood', <em>"Enkai Narok"</em> for the happy and calm god while <em>"Enkai Nonyokie"</em> or the red Sun when angry.

Myths are 'stories' or tales that revolve around a certain issue or topic and also includes the presence or involvement of supernatural or divine beings. And through the reference to the divine or supernatural being, the passage is a good example of a myth.  

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Which word in the sentence does the adverb modify? The angry referee blew his red whistle often. A. whistle B. blew C. referee D
tankabanditka [31]
An adverb is an adjective + a verb. Meaning, it's a word that describes what someone/something is doing during the action.


A (whistle) & C (referee) are both nouns - person, place, or thing.

D (red) is just an adjective - describing something


B would make the most sense, it's telling you what the referee does with his whistle.





Hope this helped!

Please help. Choose the number of the sentence that expresses the MAIN IDEA of the selection.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

From process of elimination, I believe the correct answer is TWO.

Explanation:

That is the most general answer that covers what the other sentences are speaking of.

1: Too brief of a sentence that doesn't cover the topic.

2: Too specific of a claim that doesn't cover what the rest of the topic is covering.

3: The rest of the essay talks about the health problems of men and this talks about something that's only a portion of the rest.

4: Again, too specific.

5: This was a potential answer but, again, it went specifically into listing specific health problems when the paragraph as a whole covers more than just those.

6: Another list, specifying the broad paragraph.

7: Way too brief and does not label a subject.

8: Too specific of a statistic.
