Question 6 • CMS 2026-2027 English III CREDIT RECOVERY
Read the excerpt from Leslie Marmon Silko’s story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds." "What did you say? I didn't hear you." "I said that I had been thinking about something." "About what?” "About the priest sprinkling holy water for Grandpa. So he won't be so thirsty." What does this dialogue reveal about Louise?
Answer
A
She is a devout follower of the Catholic Church.
B
She often turns to Father Paul for support and guidance.
C
She follows some of the spiritual ideas of the Pueblo people.
D
She wants Teofilo to receive his last rites from Father Paul.
Explanation
Louise suggests sprinkling holy water on Grandpa so he will not be thirsty, connecting a Catholic ritual with the Pueblo belief that the dead continue to have physical needs. This blend of beliefs shows that she follows some Pueblo spiritual ideas. The dialogue does not show that she is a devout Catholic or that she seeks Father Paul’s guidance.
