Question

read the passage from \the beginnings of the maasai.\
i am the daughter of the great neiterkob, the father of the maasai tribe in africa. you might think that this makes me special, but my father believes that i should live just like the rest of the tribe. thus, he sends me to look after our tribe’s cattle with the other daughters and sons. these cattle are sacred, because they are actually a divine gift from the sky god, enkai. our tribe makes a living by caring for the cattle, feeding them, and protecting them.
which phrase from the passage refers to a key element found in myths?
○ the maasai tribe in africa
○ look after our tribe’s cattle
○ these cattle are sacred
○ from the sky god, enkai

Explanation:

Myths often include supernatural or divine elements, like gods. The phrase "from the sky god, Enkai" involves a god (Enkai), which is a key element in myths. The other options are about the tribe, cattle - tending, or the sacredness of cattle, not the divine/supernatural element typical of myths.

Answer:

D. from the sky god, Enkai
