question 21 (1 point)
which of the following responses would be appropriate for this constructed response prompt?

prompt: in an interview with pbs, scott momaday said, “i am an indian and i believe i’m fortunate to have the heritage i have.” momaday connects his personal history with that of the kiowa tribe, indicating that both personal and cultural experience have a role in forming his identity.

explain how his experience in the following passage connects him to his ancestral heritage.

"once i went with my father and grandmother to see the tai-me bundle. it was suspended by means of a strip of ticking from the fork of a small ceremonial tree. i made an offering of bright red cloth, and my grandmother prayed aloud. it seemed a long time that we were there. i had never come into the presence of tai-me before—nor have i since. there was a great holiness all about in the room, as if an old person had died there or a child had been born."

question 21 options:

momaday is a native american and he knows his experiences are similar to his ancestors so he tried to connect what he has done in his life with what he believes his ancestors would have also experienced as a way to show their similarity and connections.

the tai-me was a meaningful religious relic for the kiowa people. they believed it kept them safe and gave prosperity. they held it in high regard.

momaday and the tai-me are deeply connected because when he visited the relic he said he felt a holiness in the room. therefore, he believes some of the power of the tai-me transferred to him just as it may have transferred to his ancestors.

the tai-me was a meaningful religious relic for the kiowa people. momaday's personal experience of the 'holiness' of the relic him understand the importance his ancestors placed on the tai-me. momaday's native american heritage is a critical part of who he is, and his ability to connect his memories and experiences with that of the kiowa people makes the connection that much stronger.

question 22 (1 point)
one theme from the book is the power of language. which of the following quotes from the text best supports that theme?

question 22 options:

"a word has power in and of itself. it comes from nothing into sound and meaning; it gives origin to all things. by means of words can a man deal with the world on equal terms. and the word is sacred."

" the buffalo was the animal representation of the sun, the essential and sacrificial victim of the sun dance. when the wild herds were destroyed, so too was the will of the kiowa people; there was nothing to sustain them in spirit."

" there was a great holiness all about in the room, as if an old person had died there or a child had been born."

" to look upon that landscape in the early morning, with the sun at your back, is to lose the sense of proportion. your imagination comes to life, and this, you think, is where creation was begun."

question 23 (1 point)
in the epilogue, momaday states,

"but indeed the golden age of the kiowas had been short-lived, ninety or a hundred years, say, from about 1740. the culture would persist for a while in decline, until about 1875, but then it would be gone, and there would be very little material evidence that it had ever been. yet it is within the reach of memory still, though tenuously now, and moreover it is even defined in a remarkable rich and living verbal tradition which demands to be preserved for it's own sake."

what does this reveal about what momaday may have hoped to accomplish through composing the way to rainy mountain?

question 23 options:

to provide his audience with an entertaining piece about the history of the kiowa.

to provide material evidence of the traditions of the kiowa through a written account of their history.

to create a map of the landscape the kiowa once traveled.

to persuade his audience that they kiowa history is the most compelling of all native american tribes.

question 24 (1 point)
in the introduction momaday explains,

"although my grandmother lived out her long life in the shadow of rainy mountain, the immense landscape of the continental interior lay like memory in her blood. she could tell of the crows, whom she had never seen, and of the black hills, where she had never been. i wanted to see in reality what she had seen more perfectly in the mind's eye, and traveled fifteen hundred miles to begin my pilgrimage."

what 'pilgrimage' does momaday take in honor of his grandmother and his kiowa ancestors?

question 24 options:

travels to his grandmother's funeral.

travels to the current reservation of the existing kiowa tribe in oklahoma.

travels to the us capital to advocate for native american rights

travels the same path the kiowa took when they were forced from their land but experienced great prosperity.

Match each excerpt with the type of essay it represents. descriptive essay narrative essay expository essay persuasive essay essay excerpt type of essay when hal arrives at the pond, a bleak sight greets him as he discovers the surface of the skating pond is layered with snow. realizing he is facing a monumental task, he industriously begins to shovel the mounds of new snow from the frozen pond. lifting shovelful after shovelful of heavy wet snow, hal tirelessly works. while he works, he dreams of his brilliant future as a magnificent hockey star. soon a massive pile of glistening snow begins to appear on the bank, and the icy surface of the pond is smooth glass. hal’s back and arms ache as he eagerly exchanges his work boots for an old, worn pair of hockey skates. arrowright potter's lake used to be the nicest lake in the area. but these days the water is green with algae, and the lake is choked with weeds all summer long. as a result, people can no longer swim in it. experts have determined the cause of the problem.fertilizers from yards and farms have been running into the lake. they cause algae and weeds to grow out of control. they also kill birds and fish. arrowright a hard, gray mountain loomed over a serene, florescent-blue lake, which gently lapped at its granite base. miles above the lake, a trio of mountain peaks jutted into the sky. each seemed to be topped with a chilled scoop of vanilla ice cream. as a cold and distant sun crept over the peaks, the lake and valley below instantly became suffused with blue light, which seemed to touch everything but warm nothing. morning had arrived. arrowright since 1897, the population of the bachman's warbler in north carolina has decreased from more than 500,000 to fewer than 100. the main reason is the destruction of areas (like asbury woodlands) that the bird uses for its natural breeding grounds. bachman's warblers prefer thickly wooded swamps and wet thickets in heavy, full-grown forests. it’s there that they can build their nests and feed on insects. this fact does not mean that we cannot build a community theater. we simply must not build it in asbury woodlands. after all, our community has forever prided itself on caring for our natural surroundings. with the council’s and the support of our townspeople, future generations will be able to continue to appreciate the beauty of this little bird

What effect is created by the plaque posted on the gate at the entrance to the family's home in nadine gordimer's "once upon a time"? the words written on the plaque offer readers a foreshadowing of the story's outcome without revealing the actual conclusion, the author's use of flashback allows readers to understand what is at the heart of the issues of encroachment in the suburban neighborhood the repetition of the words written on the plaque presents an oxymoron because readers already sense that the plaque has been ineffective in warding off intruders. the author introduces a paradox in which readers are presented with a warning notice when no actual infraction has taken place.
