Hello. This question is incomplete. the complete question is:

An Arikara woman was once gathering corn from the field to store away for winter use. She passed from stalk to stalk, tearing off the ears and dropping them into her folded robe. When all was gathered she started to go, when she heard a faint voice, like a child's, weeping and calling: "Oh, do not leave me! Do not go away without me."

The woman was astonished. "What child can that be?" she asked herself. "What babe can be lost in the cornfield?"

She set down her robe in which she had tied up her corn and went back to search; but she found nothing. As she started away she heard the voice again: "Oh, do not leave me. Do not go away without me."

She searched for a long time. At last in one corner of the field, hidden under the leaves of the stalks, she found one little ear of corn. This it was that had been crying, and this is why all Indian women have since garnered their corn crop very carefully, so that the succulent food product should not even to the last small nubbin be neglected or wasted, and thus displease the Great Mystery.

How do the Arikara woman's actions in the passage support the theme of the legend? They show that she wants to have a child. They show that she is easily surprised. They show that she likes to eat corn. They show that she is a caring person.

They show that she is a caring person

Explanation:

The excerpt shown above shows how Arikara was a very caring woman, refusing to leave the cornfield before meeting the child who was crying. She was surprised to realize that it was not a child, but an ear of corn that was left behind. Corn had the function of feeding humanity and if it were left behind it would lose all its relevance in the world, but a careful, attentive and observant woman managed to prevent this from happening. This corroborates to intensify the legend theme that women are attentive and therefore appropriate for the corn harvest.
