The animals thought that perhaps there was dirt at the depths of the ocean, but they had never tried to reach the bottom before. One by one they tried to swim down, but their attempts were futile. Finally, the muskrat disappeared into the cold depth of the ocean. After a lengthy amount of time, he drifted to the surface with a tiny speck of earth in his hand. He appeared to be dead, but the animals prayed and chanted, and finally he stirred. The Earth-Diver was successful in bringing forth the soil to make the earth grow.

Hello. This question is incomplete. You forgot to add this part:

Which sentences from the excerpt best support the idea that the Iroquois valued sacrifice by one for the good of all?

a.The animals thought that perhaps there was dirt at the depths of the ocean, but they had never tried to reach the bottom before.

b.After a lengthy amount of time, he drifted to the surface with a tiny speck of earth in his hand. He appeared to be dead. . . .

d.The Earth-Diver was successful in bringing forth the soil to make the earth grow.

b. After a lengthy amount of time, he drifted to the surface with a tiny speck of earth in his hand. He appeared to be dead. . . .

Explanation:

In the text shown in the question above, we can see that the animals feared that the ocean floor was soiled that it could harm all livestock. None of those animals could swim to the bottom of the ocean, but someone had to go there to check. The muskrat decided to sacrifice himself for the sake of animals and volunteered to go to the end of the ocean and almost died for it, but he was rewarded for his action soon after. This shows how the Iroquois believed that sacrificing yourself for the people you care about is an act of kindness and courage.

the correct answers are:

c. “never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue.”

d. “‘it has never been heard,’ was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later.”

e. “this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke.”
