question 14 of 20
read this excerpt from \an indian fathers plea\:
wind - wolf learned his basic numbers by helping his
father count and sort the rocks to be used in the sweat -
lodge — seven rocks for a medicine sweat, say, or thirteen
for the summer solstice ceremony.
which argument does this evidence best support?
a. wind - wolf is smart, but his culture teaches things in a different
way.
b. wind - wolfs family forced him to work instead of attending school.
c. wind - wolf would like to go to school and learn math in a more
normal way.
d. wind - wolf has been helping his father sort rocks since he was a
small child.

Explanation:

The excerpt shows Wind - Wolf learning numbers through cultural activities (counting rocks for ceremonies). This indicates he is smart (can learn numbers) but his learning method is different (through cultural, non - traditional school - like activities). Option B is incorrect as there's no indication of being forced to work instead of school. Option C is wrong as there's no mention of him wanting a "normal" school math learning. Option D only focuses on the surface action of helping his father, not the deeper point about cultural learning.

Answer:

A. Wind - Wolf is smart, but his culture teaches things in a different way.
