Question

based on the conclusion of \the raven and the first men: the beginnings of the haida,\ the reader can infer that the haida

were lacking in basic necessities.

had plenty of food and water available.

relied mainly on the ocean for provisions.

waited for the raven to feed them daily

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the conclusion of "The Raven and the First Men: The Beginnings of the Haida." The Haida creation story implies that after the Raven's actions, the Haida had sufficient resources. Option A is incorrect as the story doesn't show lack. Option C focuses on ocean, but the story's conclusion (e.g., Raven bringing resources like food, water, and land) suggests more general abundance, not just ocean reliance. Option D is wrong as the Haida weren't dependent on the Raven for daily feeding—they had their own provisions. Option B aligns with the idea that the Raven's work (like creating land, water, and food sources) led to plenty of food and water.

Answer:

B. had plenty of food and water available
