Hello. This question is incomplete. You forgot to add this part:

Answer:
b. After a lengthy amount of time, he drifted to the surface with a tiny speck of earth in his hand. He appeared to be dead. . . .
Step-by-step explanation:
In the text shown in the question above, we can see that the animals feared that the ocean floor was soiled that it could harm all livestock. None of those animals could swim to the bottom of the ocean, but someone had to go there to check. The muskrat decided to sacrifice himself for the sake of animals and volunteered to go to the end of the ocean and almost died for it, but he was rewarded for his action soon after. This shows how the Iroquois believed that sacrificing yourself for the people you care about is an act of kindness and courage.
