question 21 (1 point)
which of the following responses would be appropriate for this constructed response prompt?

prompt: in an interview with pbs, scott momaday said, “i am an indian and i believe i’m fortunate to have the heritage i have.” momaday connects his personal history with that of the kiowa tribe, indicating that both personal and cultural experience have a role in forming his identity.

explain how his experience in the following passage connects him to his ancestral heritage.

"once i went with my father and grandmother to see the tai-me bundle. it was suspended by means of a strip of ticking from the fork of a small ceremonial tree. i made an offering of bright red cloth, and my grandmother prayed aloud. it seemed a long time that we were there. i had never come into the presence of tai-me before—nor have i since. there was a great holiness all about in the room, as if an old person had died there or a child had been born."

question 21 options:

momaday is a native american and he knows his experiences are similar to his ancestors so he tried to connect what he has done in his life with what he believes his ancestors would have also experienced as a way to show their similarity and connections.

the tai-me was a meaningful religious relic for the kiowa people. they believed it kept them safe and gave prosperity. they held it in high regard.

momaday and the tai-me are deeply connected because when he visited the relic he said he felt a holiness in the room. therefore, he believes some of the power of the tai-me transferred to him just as it may have transferred to his ancestors.

the tai-me was a meaningful religious relic for the kiowa people. momaday's personal experience of the 'holiness' of the relic him understand the importance his ancestors placed on the tai-me. momaday's native american heritage is a critical part of who he is, and his ability to connect his memories and experiences with that of the kiowa people makes the connection that much stronger.

question 22 (1 point)
one theme from the book is the power of language. which of the following quotes from the text best supports that theme?

question 22 options:

"a word has power in and of itself. it comes from nothing into sound and meaning; it gives origin to all things. by means of words can a man deal with the world on equal terms. and the word is sacred."

" the buffalo was the animal representation of the sun, the essential and sacrificial victim of the sun dance. when the wild herds were destroyed, so too was the will of the kiowa people; there was nothing to sustain them in spirit."

" there was a great holiness all about in the room, as if an old person had died there or a child had been born."

" to look upon that landscape in the early morning, with the sun at your back, is to lose the sense of proportion. your imagination comes to life, and this, you think, is where creation was begun."

question 23 (1 point)
in the epilogue, momaday states,

"but indeed the golden age of the kiowas had been short-lived, ninety or a hundred years, say, from about 1740. the culture would persist for a while in decline, until about 1875, but then it would be gone, and there would be very little material evidence that it had ever been. yet it is within the reach of memory still, though tenuously now, and moreover it is even defined in a remarkable rich and living verbal tradition which demands to be preserved for it's own sake."

what does this reveal about what momaday may have hoped to accomplish through composing the way to rainy mountain?

question 23 options:

to provide his audience with an entertaining piece about the history of the kiowa.

to provide material evidence of the traditions of the kiowa through a written account of their history.

to create a map of the landscape the kiowa once traveled.

to persuade his audience that they kiowa history is the most compelling of all native american tribes.

question 24 (1 point)
in the introduction momaday explains,

"although my grandmother lived out her long life in the shadow of rainy mountain, the immense landscape of the continental interior lay like memory in her blood. she could tell of the crows, whom she had never seen, and of the black hills, where she had never been. i wanted to see in reality what she had seen more perfectly in the mind's eye, and traveled fifteen hundred miles to begin my pilgrimage."

what 'pilgrimage' does momaday take in honor of his grandmother and his kiowa ancestors?

question 24 options:

travels to his grandmother's funeral.

travels to the current reservation of the existing kiowa tribe in oklahoma.

travels to the us capital to advocate for native american rights

travels the same path the kiowa took when they were forced from their land but experienced great prosperity.
