Read the conclusion about “The Beginnings of the Maasai,” and then answer the question.

One purpose of “The Beginnings of the Maasai” is to explain the weather.

Which excerpt best justifies this conclusion?

The sky god is powerful, but can change from nurturing to vengeful depending on our behavior.
Sometimes Enkai is Enkai Narok, the Black God, happy with us and blanketing the sky with dark clouds that pour out rain to nourish the plains.
In these times, the sun grows incredibly hot until the earth dries up and becomes barren.
My father tells me that the eruption was so violent that it broke the earth away from the sky and flung Enkai and all of the cattle high up into the heavens.

whats the answer to it tho? bc that's not helpful

It Would Be...

A. The sky god is powerful, but can change from nurturing to vengeful depending on our behavior.

Wow, @kasandra, you're terrible at proving points, aren't you? It would be best if you didn't shame people for trying to get help on a question, as you did with @Mackenzie. In your words, *ahem* "mackenzie that is what your teachers are for I have been in that place and I know what it feels like too but if you are in desperate need for help ask your teachers! that's what they're there for they will help you if you don't ask or you don't want to your being lazy when your in college think about all the stuff you didn't learn or all the stuff you needed to learn you will be regretting it so try not to cheat anymore" Yet, you're on here looking for answers...what a shame..*smh* Stop trying to shame people for trying to get a little help and stop calling them "lazy" too...🙄

that's what i'm looking for i need. i'm here looking for the answer if i had it do u think i would be here

To answer the question, we need to look for the excerpt that directly supports the conclusion that one purpose of "The Beginnings of the Maasai" is to explain the weather.

In this case, the following excerpt best justifies this conclusion:

"Sometimes Enkai is Enkai Narok, the Black God, happy with us and blanketing the sky with dark clouds that pour out rain to nourish the plains."

This excerpt directly mentions the weather in relation to Enkai, the sky god, being happy and causing dark clouds to pour out rain to nourish the land. It explicitly connects the actions of the sky god with the weather, supporting the conclusion that explaining the weather is one purpose of the text.
