Question

what does the myth attempt to explain? select four options. why the maasai herd cattle why there is rain and drought why caring for cattle can be troublesome why a volcano erupts in the middle of the cattle plains how the maasai interact with nature what the relationship is between supernatural beings and humans

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on typical Maasai myths (or general myth - function):

1. Myths often explain cultural practices like herding cattle (why the Maasai herd cattle is a cultural practice explanation).
2. Natural phenomena like rain and drought are common myth - explained topics (why there is rain and drought).
3. Myths can show human - nature interaction (how the Maasai interact with nature).
4. Myths also explore the relationship between supernatural and humans (what the relationship is between supernatural beings and humans).

Options about "why caring for cattle can be troublesome" (more of a practical concern, not myth - explained) and "why a volcano erupts in the middle of the cattle plains" (specific geological event, less likely in a general Maasai myth context) are less likely.

Answer:

A. why the Maasai herd cattle
B. why there is rain and drought
E. how the Maasai interact with nature
F. what the relationship is between supernatural beings and humans
