Question

read the excerpt from leslie marmon silkos story \the man to send rain clouds.\ leon knocked at the old carved door with its symbols of the lamb. while he waited he looked up at the twin bells from the king of spain with the last sunlight pouring around them in their tower. what does the image of the lamb above the priests door symbolize? the lamb symbolizes the traditions of the catholic church. the lamb symbolizes the sheep raised by the pueblo people. the lamb symbolizes the gentleness of the pueblo people. the lamb symbolizes the virtues valued in pueblo culture.

Explanation:

To determine the symbol of the Lamb, we analyze the context. The door is at the priest’s place (relating to Catholic Church), and the Lamb is a religious symbol in Catholicism (representing Christ, and by extension, church traditions). The other options: linking to Pueblo - raised sheep is too literal; gentleness of Pueblo people or their cultural virtues aren't directly signified by the Lamb in this religious - door context. So the Lamb symbolizes Catholic Church traditions.

Answer:

The Lamb symbolizes the traditions of the Catholic Church.
