Question

read the excerpt from \the crab that played with the sea.\ he went north, best beloved, and he found all-the-elephant-there-was digging with his tusks and stamping with his feet in the nice new clean earth that had been made ready for him. \kun?\ said all-the-elephant-there-was, meaning, \is this right?\ \payah kun,\ said the eldest magician, meaning, \that is quite right\; and he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth that all-the-elephant-there-was had thrown up, and they became the great himalayan mountains, and you can look them out on the map. he went east, and he found all-the-cow-there-was feeding in the field that had been made ready for her, and she licked her tongue round a whole forest at a time, and swallowed it and sat down to chew her cud. which details from the excerpt best support the conclusion that children are the author’s intended audience? select two options. ☐ the repetition of words and patterns ☐ the terms \kun\ and \payah kun\ ☐ the provided translation support ☐ the use of animals to tell a magical story ☐ the description of geological features

Explanation:

1. The repetition of words and patterns (like "Best Beloved", and the structure of describing the magician's interactions with animals) is a common technique in children's literature to engage young readers and help them follow the story.
2. The use of animals to tell a magical story is typical of children's stories, as kids often enjoy tales with animal characters and elements of magic. The terms "kun" and "payah kun" are just foreign - like words in the story, and the translation support is more about clarifying meaning rather than indicating a child audience. Describing geological features is more of a factual detail and not a marker of a children's audience.

Answer:

A. the repetition of words and patterns
D. the use of animals to tell a magical story
