Question

Read this passage from the Iroquois Constitution. Chestnut wood gives off sparks. Why would it be symbolically unsuitable for starting the Council Fire?

When the Lords are assembled the Council Fire shall be kindled, but not with chestnut wood, and Adodarhoh shall formally open the Council.


A.The sparks would represent the different tribes attending the council fire


B.The sparks would represent an agreement that happened too soon


C.The sparks would represent creating a disturbance in the peace


D.The sparks would represent a breach in the safety of the tribes

Answer 1

Your answer is
C ; The sparks would represent creating a disturbance in the peace.

Answer 2

C.The sparks would represent creating a disturbance in the peace.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that chestnut wood gives off sparks. And we also know that sparks are sometimes used as a symbol for fights or conflict. Therefore, the most likely answer is that the Council Fire should not be started using chestnut wood because it is likely to create sparks that would represent a disturbance in the Council's peace.
