Question

this event chain shows the events from an ojibwe legend. start → two birds, a loon and a hawk, decide to play a game of lacrosse. → a goose joins the loons team, and an owl joins the hawks team. ↓ the birds play a long time, but no one scores. ← the winter wind comes and joins the hawks team. ↓ the loons team is quickly defeated. → the loon flies south every year to escape the winter. based on the event chain, when does a goose join the loons team? right after the birds decide to play a game of lacrosse right before the winter wind joins the hawks team

Explanation:

To determine when the goose joins the loon's team, we analyze the event chain. The first event is "Two birds, a loon and a hawk, decide to play a game of lacrosse." Then the next event is "A goose joins the loon’s team, and an owl joins the hawk’s team." So the goose joins right after the birds decide to play lacrosse. The other option ("right before the Winter Wind joins...") is incorrect because the goose joining happens before the long play and the Winter Wind joining.

Answer:

right after the birds decide to play a game of lacrosse
