Question

read the paraphrased excerpt from my lord bag of rice

long, long ago there lived in japan a brave warrior known to all as tawara toda, or \my lord bag of rice\. his true name was fujiwara hidesato, and there is a very interesting story of how he came to change his name.

one day he sallied forth in search of adventures, for he had the nature of a warrior and could not bear to be idle. so he buckled on his two swords, took his huge bow, much taller than himself, in his hand, and slinging his quiver on his back started out.

which element of heritage is preserved by this excerpt?
○ details about life in japan long ago
○ details about a specific setting
○ details about an historical character
○ details about warrior life in ancient japan

Explanation:

The excerpt introduces a specific historical figure (Fujiwara Hidesato, also called Tawara Toda) and shares details about his identity and background, which centers on preserving information about this historical character. The other options are incorrect: it does not focus broadly on life in old Japan, a specific setting, or general warrior life, but on the individual historical figure.

Answer:

details about an historical character
