Question

Which of the following lines from “How the Spaniards Came to Shung-opovi, How They Built a Mission, and How the Hopi Destroyed the Mission” best shows the narrator’s point of view that the Spaniards were trying to change the religion of the Hopi people?

a."When the priests started to build the mission, the men were sent away over near the San Francisco peaks to get the pine or spruce beams."
b.Now during this time the men would go out pretending they were going on a hunting trip, and they would go to some hiding place, to make their prayer offerings."
c."When this mission was finally built, all the people in the village had to come there to worship, and those who did not come were punished severely."
d."The Spaniards, whom they called Castillia, told the people that they had much more power than all their chiefs and a whole lot more power than the witches."

Answer 1

Answer: C) "When this mission was finally built, all the people in the village had to come there to worship, and those who did not come were punished severely."

Step-by-step explanation: In the given lines from “How the Spaniards Came to Shung-opovi, How They Built a Mission, and How the Hopi Destroyed the Mission” we can see that the one that most clearly shows the narrator's point of view that the Spaniards were trying to change the religion of the Hopi people is the corresponding to option C, because it says that the Hopi were obligated to go to the mission to worship, and if they didn't go, they were punished.

Answer 2

c."When this mission was finally built, all the people in the village had to come there to worship, and those who did not come were punished severely."

In this quote the Spaniards are forcing the Hopi people to attend the mission to worship. By forcing their participation in the religion, the Spaniards were trying to change the religion of the Hopi people. Option D also shows one way in which the Spaniards showed how they felt their religion was correct and superior to the Hopi ways, but it doesn't show how they created change. The other two are just wrong.
