Question

which excerpt from the man to send rain clouds best illustrates how leons beliefs differ from those of father paul?
well, im glad you understand. i hope ill be seeing you at mass this week—we missed you last sunday. see if you can get old teofilo to come with you. the priest smiled and waved at them as they drove away.
leon walked toward the old mans bed. the red plaid shawl had been shaken and spread carefully over the bed, and a new brown flannel shirt and pair of stiff new levis were arranged neatly beside the pillow.
it was noontime now because the church bells rang the angelus. they ate the beans with hot bread, and nobody said anything until after teresa poured the coffee.
leon turned to look up at the high blue mountains in the deep snow that reflected a faint red light from the west. he felt good because it was finished, and he was happy about the sprinkling of the holy water; now the old man could send them big thunderclouds for sure.

Explanation:

The question requires identifying the excerpt illustrating differing beliefs between Leon (likely holding traditional Native American beliefs) and Father Paul (Catholic). The fourth option shows Leon's belief that sprinkling holy water allows the old man to "send them big thunderclouds," contrasting with Father Paul's Christian perspective.

Answer:

D. Leon turned to look up at the high blue mountains in the deep snow that reflected a faint red light from the west. He felt good because it was finished, and he was happy about the sprinkling of the holy water; now the old man could send them big thunderclouds for sure.
