Question

Read this excerpt from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday:

They were going along, and some were hunting. An antelope was killed and quartered in the meadow. Well, one of the big chiefs came up and took the udders of that animal for himself, but another big chief wanted those udders also, and there was a great quarrel between them. Then, in anger one of these chiefs gathered all of his followers and went away.

According to ancient custom, antelope medicine was made, and the Kiowas set out on foot and on horseback—men women, and children—after game. They formed a great circle, inclosing a large area of the plain, and began to converge upon the center. By this means antelope and other animal were trapped and killed, often with clubs and even with the bare hands.
Which sentence best explains how the historical description of the subject matter enhances the meaning of the mythical description?
A. It expands on the myth by describing how antelopes were trapped and killed from a personal point of view.
B. It supports the myth by providing real facts about the custom of antelope hunting by the Kiowas.
C. It makes the myth memorable by describing how the Kiowas developed their skill at building teepees.
D. It makes the myth concrete by adding a personal reflection on what the Kiowas had to do to survive a harsh winter.

Answer 1

B. it supports the myth by providing real facts about the custom of antelope hunting by the Kiowas.

Answer 2

B. It supports the myth by providing real facts about the custom of antelope hunting by the Kiowas.

Immediately options C and D should be eliminated. In the excerpt there is no mention of teepees or winter so these are not valid answers. This leaves option A and B. The difference between the two is that Option A says the description is from a personal point of view. A personal point of view should be written in first person with the pronouns I, me, my. The excerpt is written from third person point of view so it is not option A.
