Read the following stanza from "Twelfth Song of Thunder."

The voice that beautifies the land!
The voice above,
The voice of the thunder
Within the dark cloud
Again and again it sounds,
The voice that beautifies the land.

Which choice supports the idea that the song is a chant?

Answer:

The repetition of the word "voice" and the line "The voice that beautifies the land".

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem "Twelfth Song of Thunder" is a Navajo song or chant that praises the creations of god, nature, the land, the animals and the sky. It is also sung as a part of the traditional Navajo Mountain Chant Ceremony.

The repetition of the word "voice" in the poem as well as "the voice that beautifies the land" shows a great deal of respect and appreciation for the creations found in nature. They also give a indication of the idea that this song is a chant to god.
