This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the following passage and answer the question.
I verily believe that buttoning himself up in so downy and blanket – like a coat had a pernicious effect upon him; upon the same principle that too much oats are bad for horses. In fact, precisely as a rash, restive horse is said to feel his oats, so Turkey felt his coat. It made him insolent. He was a man whom prosperity harmed.
What do these lines suggest about the narrator?
a) He is disappointed that his gifts are not appreciated.
b) He wishes he had not given away his favorite coat.
c) He worries that his employees are suffering.
d) He feels that people should be content with what they have.
Answer:
These lines suggest:
d) He feels that people should be content with what they have.
Explanation:
In the passage we are analyzing, the narrator is visibly criticizing someone for "feeling his coat," making a pun out of the expression "to feel his oats." <u>The person he is criticizing changed while wearing what seems to be a fancy coat. This transformation is disappointing to the narrator. It shows that that person is probably greedy. Instead of being happy with what he has, Turkey seems to want more and, when he does get some more, he changes, becomes "insolent". That is clearly something that bothers the narrator.</u>

Explanation:
The myth "When Grizzlies Walked Upright" is a legendary myth about the creation of the world. This creation myth also specifies how the Indians and the grizzlies came to be.
According to the myth, the Chief of the Sky Spirits created the earth and the animals from his <em>"giant stick"</em>. But one event where the youngest daughter was taken by the Wind Spirit and taken away from her home led to her being adopted by the grizzlies, who till that time were walking on two feet like humans. Eventually, she married one of the grizzlies and had offsprings. When the Chief of the Sky saw the offsprings that look like <em>"strange creatures [...] A new race had been created that was not of his making!"</em>, he got furious and cursed the whole race. This was what led to the grizzlies walking on all fours and also the <em>"strange creatures"</em> were the first Indians.
Thus, we can describe the Chief of the Sky Spirits as someone who is a <u>creative</u>, but <u>angry</u> and <u>dissatisfied</u> with what his daughter had brought upon him.
