From this story we can infer that the Haida C.)People could not find drinkable water at the beach.

This question is based on a creation story by the Haida Indigenous people of Canada.

They believe that human beings came about when they were found by a Raven in a shell.

When the humans came out, they tried to drink the water at the beach but it was salty and only made them thirstier. This shows that the water was not drinkable and means that the beach contained no drinkable water.

The Raven then decided to fix this because as we have conclusively determined, there was no drinkable water on the beach.

The story in question is

Raven opened his beak and sang a beautiful song, calming the creatures in the shell. Then, using his powerful talons, he opened the shell and released the first human beings.

The men were hungry and thirsty, but there was no food on the large sandy beach, and the salt water just made them thirstier. Determined to take care of the men he had found, Raven flew to find them provisions.

Answer from: atsuedem974

The inference about the life experience of the Haida people that can be drawn from the details in this story is that "the people could not find drinkable water at the beach".

The passage here was about the people of Haida and their creation. It was believed that human beings came from a Raven and that they wanted to drink water at the beach but the water was salty.Therefore, they couldn't drink the water because it was salty even though they were thirsty, hence the water was not drinkable.

In conclusion, the correct option is C.
