Question 8 • CMS 2026-2027 English III CREDIT RECOVERY

According to "The World on Turtle's Back," which best demonstrates the Iroquois view of women?

Answer
A
Women were viewed as clumsy and poor at making decisions.
B
Women were viewed as helpless without the support of men and animals.
C
Women were respected because they helped create and sustain the world.
D
Women were worshipped because they were the descendants of a goddess.

Explanation

In “The World on Turtle’s Back,” the woman who falls from the sky helps bring life to the world, and her daughters continue the work of creation. This portrays women as important contributors who help create and sustain the world, so B is correct. The story does not say women were worshipped simply because they descended from a goddess.
