14- The answer is B) It gives the origins of the Tai-me as a life-saving creature.. The author used the myth to portray the Tai-me as a doll with special properties that bring good luck in life.

15- The answer is D) the author wants to give a picture of the behavior of the grasshoppers. The figure of speech used by the author is a simile which is commonly used ot compare, in this case the comparison revolves around the movement of the crickets and the popcorn.

16- The answer is C) The season and human survival. The two brothers are fighting for survival due to the winter migration which implies animals are no longer abundant and food is scarce.

Hope this helps! I'd really appreciate it if you could rate this brainliest :)

The correct answers are the following:

14 - B) It gives the origins of the Tai-me as a life-saving creature.

15 - C) to give a picture of the behaviour of grasshoppers.

16 - C) the seasons and human survival.

Explanation:

In question 14, we are told that the Tai-me could give the Kiowas whatever they wanted and provided them with food, thus being a life-saving creature for them.

In question 15, the author uses a figure of speech ("like") to illustrate the way these grasshoppers jump, comparing this behaviour to something the reader might be more familiar with.

In question 16, we can infer that animals were scarce in winter so the two brothers had to figure out how they would survive in each season and adapt to food scarcity.

the african society basically suffered the consequences of colonization and apartheid directly attacking the black people, first, during the colonialism and its main idea which which "white people" had better rights, affecting   them principally in the right to establish black people in their territories, access to quality education and health services and took away any civil right even to the black people to feel they have the same opportunities as the settlers.
