Question

i am dekanawidah and with the five nations confederate lords i plant the tree of the great peace. i name the tree the tree of the great long leaves. under the shade of this tree of the great peace we spread the soft white feathery down of the globe thistle as seats for you, adodarhoh, and your cousin lords.
which is used as a symbol in the passage?
○ i am dekanawidah
○ your cousin lords
○ the shade of this tree
○ soft feathery down of the globe thistle

Explanation:

To determine the symbol, we analyze the excerpt: "Under the shade of this Tree of the Great Peace we spread the soft white feathery down of the globe thistle as seats for you, Adodarhoh, and your cousin lords." The tree (referred to as Tree of the Great Peace, Tree of the Great Long Leaves) is a central symbol here. The options "I am Dekanawidah" is a speaker, "your cousin lords" are people, "soft feathery down..." is a seating element. The "the shade of this Tree" relates to the symbolic Tree of Peace.

Answer:

B. the shade of this Tree (assuming the option labels are A, B, C, D with A: I am Dekanawidah, B: the shade of this Tree, C: your cousin lords, D: soft feathery down of the globe thistle)
