Question

life was peaceful for neiterkob, the herder of cattle and father of the maasai. then, a volcano erupted and sent his cattle flying into the air, where they could not survive. finally, the wise god enkai grew a giant fig tree so the cattle could climb back to earth. this is one of the reasons cattle are sacred to the maasai people. what did you include in your summary? check all that apply. details from the beginning, including the characters and conflicts an explanation of how the conflict developed in the middle an explanation of how the conflict was resolved in the end a discussion of central ideas and key details in my own words

Explanation:

1. The beginning has Neiterkob (character) and the peaceful life (then conflict with volcano), so "details from the beginning, including the characters and conflicts" applies.
2. The middle shows the conflict (volcano erupts, cattle can't survive) developing, so "an explanation of how the conflict developed in the middle" applies.
3. The end has Enkai growing a tree to resolve the conflict, so "an explanation of how the conflict was resolved in the end" applies.
4. A summary should discuss central ideas (cattle sacred to Maasai) and key details in own words, so "a discussion of central ideas and key details in my own words" applies.

Answer:

• details from the beginning, including the characters and conflicts
• an explanation of how the conflict developed in the middle
• an explanation of how the conflict was resolved in the end
• a discussion of central ideas and key details in my own words
