sometimes good can come from tragedy.

mothers should be worshipped as goddesses.

corn, beans, and squash are essential for life.

dancing and singing can make plants grow.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The excerpt tells of a tragic event (mother's death) leading to the growth of plants (good from tragedy), so this fits.
• Option 2: The excerpt focuses on plant growth from the mother's body, not worshiping mothers as goddesses.
• Option 3: While corn, beans, squash are grown, the main point is about good from tragedy, not just their essentiality.
• Option 4: The people dance/sing to give thanks and make plants grow, but the key is the origin from tragedy, not the action making plants grow directly.

Answer:

sometimes good can come from tragedy.
