Question

which sentence from the world on turtles back best illustrates why the story is considered a creation myth?

○ she told them that if they could find some soil, she could plant the roots from the great tree that were still tangled in her hands.
○ the woman placed the dirt on turtles back and performed a ritual to create the earth.
○ she is called \our mother\ and the people dance and sing to her to make the plants grow.

Explanation:

A creation myth explains how the world or humans came to be. The option "The woman placed the dirt on Turtle’s back and performed a ritual to create the earth" describes an act of creating the earth, which is a key element of a creation myth. The other options focus on home - making, helping with planting, or being honored, not on the act of creation.

Answer:

The woman placed the dirt on Turtle’s back and performed a ritual to create the earth.
