Question

which excerpt from \the beginnings of the maasai\ is the best example of a feature found in myths?
○ my job is important, so i work hard to do it well, even though the cattle can sometimes be troublesome.
○ you see, soon after i was born, a massive volcano erupted right in the middle of the cattle plains.
○ when we have rituals or community celebrations, i have to bring the cattle, because their presence is essential.
○ one by one, enkai sent the cattle walking down branches of the fig tree, all the way down to the roots at the ground.

Explanation:

Myths often feature supernatural or divine beings, extraordinary events tied to creation or cultural origins, and elements that explain a group's beliefs or origins. The excerpt about Enkai (a divine figure in Maasai cosmology) sending cattle down a fig tree is a clear mythic element, as it involves a supernatural act that explains the Maasai's connection to cattle, a core part of their cultural identity. The other excerpts describe daily life, a natural event, or ritual duties without supernatural/mythic core elements.

Answer:

One by one, Enkai sent the cattle walking down branches of the fig tree, all the way down to the roots at the ground.
