Question 10 • CMS 2025-2026 English I CREDIT RECOVERY
In "The Raven and the First Men: The Beginnings of the Haida,” which evidence best helps the reader infer that the Haida might find it acceptable behavior to play tricks on one another?
Answer
A
The story presents Raven’s trick against the Sky Chief in a sarcastic manner.
B
The story presents Raven’s trick against the Sky Chief in a humorous manner.
C
The story presents Raven’s trick against the Sky Chief in a matter-of-fact manner.
D
The story presents Raven’s trick against the Sky Chief in an over-the-top manner.
Explanation
A humorous presentation makes Raven’s trick seem amusing rather than seriously wrong or shocking. That tone best supports the inference that the Haida might consider playing tricks on one another acceptable behavior; a matter-of-fact or over-the-top tone would not show that as clearly.
