Yep, that's basically the whole task. To change the passage to become more 'upbeat', yet still share similar words to the previous words, the following could be changed to...
trudged= plodded
shuffled= staggered
scrutinised= questioned
sparse=meagre
closed in= confined
anxious= eager (Although eager and anxious generally do not share a similar definition, in this context they do as 'anxious' is used to describe being excited to do something, and share the same meaning of 'Very eager or concerned to do something or for something to happen'
pried= wrenched
confronted= suddenly exposed
puzzling=baffling
something=remarkable
used=castoff
questioned=pondered
anxious=uneasy

Answer: A) that Usen is not concerned about trivial matters
Explanation:
- When he is describing the prayer, he is talking about how he and others are taught to pray to Usen for things that are helpful for life and that can encourage them to be brave and to feel safe. They had never used prayer against someone and they are always dealing fights on their own because those fight between people is considered in this excerpt like something that will pass and that it is not so important.
They were using prayer for the best things and not something that they cannot solve on their own.
