Question

1. how would the story be different if it were told from the honeyguide bird’s point of view?

a. readers would better understand the daily life of the maasai people.
b. readers would feel less suspense about whether the boys find honey.
c. readers would better understand why the bird helps humans find hives.
d. readers would focus more on the boys’ family and responsibilities.

Explanation:

• Option a: The Maasai people's daily life is from a human perspective, not the bird's, so this is incorrect.
• Option b: The bird's perspective wouldn't necessarily reduce suspense about the boys finding honey; it's more about the bird's motives or experiences.
• Option c: Telling the story from the Honeyguide bird’s point of view would allow readers to get insights into the bird's reasoning for helping humans find hives, as we'd be seeing things from the bird's thoughts and experiences.
• Option d: The boys’ family and responsibilities are human - centered, not related to the bird's point of view.

Answer:

c. Readers would better understand why the bird helps humans find hives.
