from "How Old Man Winter Was Driven Back"

"I, too, am powerful, and I am young! I do not fear you. When I touch the earth, it grows soft and warm. Every living thing stirs in its sleep,—birds and bees, flowers and trees, animals and men. When I speak, the sleeping sun awakes. See! Already he begins to send down his arrows. Hasten! that they may not find you, on the trail to the North Sky."

from "How the World Was Made"

Even some of the trees went to sleep. Only the cedar, the pine, the spruce, the holly, and the laurel were awake all seven nights. Therefore they are always green. They are also sacred trees. But to the other trees it was said, “Because you did not stay awake, therefore you shall lose your hair every winter.”

The correct answer is A. In "How Old Man Winter Was Driven Back," the change in seasons is shown as a violent battle. In "How the World Was Made," the change in seasons is shown as a natural, peaceful transition.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two passages in the question present to different myths in the first one or "How Old Man Winter Was Driven Back" tells the way winter ended and for doing this the author describes a struggle between the winter and the agent that ends it describing it as " I, too, am powerful, and I am young! I do not fear you" and the struggle between both "See! Already he begins to send down his arrows". On the other hand, the second passage "How the World Was Made" the change of seasons is described through the trees "Only the cedar, the pine, the spruce, the holly, and the laurel were awake all seven nights" and the way the season changes as some stay awake and other go to sleep.

Therefore, the first myth presented the change in seasons as a violent struggle, while the second myth shows this as a natural transition. Therefore, the difference between these myths is that "In "How Old Man Winter Was Driven Back," the change in seasons is shown as a violent battle. In "How the World Was Made," the change in seasons is shown as a natural, peaceful transition".
