Answer 1

The tortoise wins by trickery in the West African tale and by determination and hard work in the Greek version.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that MOST accurately contrasts how the tortoises in each passage won the race is that the tortoise in the West African version wins the race by trickery, while the tortoise in the Greek version wins by determination and hard work. In the familiar Greek tale, the tortoise plods along steadily to win, whereas other versions, like the West African, involve some form of deception or cleverness on the part of the tortoise that enables it to win. As the provided passages do not offer any details about the West African version, the answer is based on general knowledge of alternative versions of the tale.
