a. it has dull brownish green feathers.
b. it sits quietly in a tree branch.
c. it leads the boys from tree to tree toward the hive.
d. it sings loudly after the boys leave.

Explanation:

To determine which detail shows the Honeyguide's important role, we analyze each option:

• Option a describes its feathers, which is about appearance, not role.
• Option b describes its quiet sitting, which doesn't show importance in the story's events.
• Option c shows the Honeyguide leading the boys toward the hive, which is an active and crucial action related to the story's plot (finding the hive), indicating its importance.
• Option d describes its action after the boys leave, which is not related to its role in helping the boys find the hive.

Answer:

c. It leads the boys from tree to tree toward the hive.
