details | ideas
--- | --- | ---
the animals help the woman after she falls from the sky. | $square$ (nature plays an important role in iroquois culture.) | $square$ (the iroquois believe the world is made of forces in opposition to each other.)
the twins argue about the way they should be born. | $square$ | $square$
the \three sisters\ grow from the girl’s body after she is buried. | $square$ | $square$
the man will not get the roots, so the woman sets out to gather them herself. | $square$ | $square$

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each detail and match it to the relevant idea:

1. "The animals help the woman after she falls from the sky."

• Supports "Nature plays an important role in Iroquois culture." (Animals are part of nature and assist the woman, showing nature’s significance.)

2. "The twins argue about the way they should be born."

• Supports "The Iroquois believe the world is made of forces in opposition to each other." (Arguing twins represent opposing forces.)

3. "The ‘three sisters’ grow from the girl’s body after she is buried."

• Supports "Nature plays an important role in Iroquois culture." (Plants (part of nature) growing from a human body shows nature’s central role in their beliefs.)

4. "The man will not get the roots, so the woman sets out to gather them herself."

• Supports "The Iroquois believe the world is made of forces in opposition to each other." (Man and woman’s opposing actions (one refuses, one acts) represent opposing forces.)

Final Matching (Check the boxes as follows):

• "The animals help the woman after she falls from the sky." → Check box under "Nature plays an important role in Iroquois culture."

• "The man will not get the roots, so the woman sets out to gather them herself." → Check box under "The Iroquois believe the world is made of forces in opposition to each other."
