Question

which detail from the way to rainy mountain supports the central idea that the kiowa keep their culture alive by passing down their traditional stories?
\it is...a remarkably rich and living verbal tradition.\
\the kiowa language is hard to understand, but, you know, the storm spirit understands it.\
\there were frequent prayer meetings, and great nocturnal feasts.\
\i returned to rainy mountain in july.\

Explanation:

The phrase "a remarkably rich and living verbal tradition" directly relates to passing down stories orally, which is a key way to keep culture alive. The other options either focus on language difficulty, religious events, or a personal return (not about story - passing).

Answer:

"it is...a remarkably rich and living verbal tradition."
