Question

according to \the world on turtles back,\ which statement best describes the origin of man?
two gods were working together to create the earth, and they decided to create man to provide balance in nature.
a god fell from the sky and had a daughter, who eventually gave birth to two men.
a god fell from the sky and created man so her daughter and grandsons would have company.
two gods were competing to see who could create the most powerful and cunning animal, and one of them made man.

Explanation:

In "The World on Turtle’s Back", the origin of man involves a god falling from the sky, having a daughter, and that daughter giving birth to two men (twins, representing good and evil). The other options misinterpret the story: the first talks about two gods creating man for balance (incorrect), the third says the god created man for company (incorrect), and the fourth is about creating animals (incorrect).

Answer:

B. A god fell from the sky and had a daughter, who eventually gave birth to two men.
