Read the quote from Leslie Marmon Silko’s story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds." "Well, I'm glad you understand. I hope I'll be seeing you at Mass this week—we missed you last Sunday. See if you can get old Teofilo to come with you." The priest smiled and waved at them as they drove away. This quote is located early in the narrative. What does it reveal about Father Paul?
Answer
A
He knows that Teofilo has died.
B
He is out of touch with the community he serves.
C
He does not care for the members of his congregation.
D
He has been Leon’s priest for a long time.
Explanation
Father Paul asks Leon to bring Teofilo to Mass, not realizing that Teofilo has already died. This shows that he is out of touch with the community he serves. The quote does not suggest he knows about Teofilo’s death; it highlights that he has not heard what happened.
