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: In the excerpt, phrases like "he went... and he found" and the repeated use of "All - the - Elephant - there - was" and "All - the - Cow - there - was" create a rhythmic and repetitive pattern, which is typical of stories aimed at children as it helps in engaging their attention and aiding in memory.
2. The use of animals to tell a magical story: The excerpt features animals (All - the - Elephant - there - was, All - the - Cow - there - was, and a crab) and has magical elements (the Eldest Magician breathing on rocks to create mountains). Stories with animals and magic are often designed for a child audience as children are fascinated by animals and magical events.

The terms "kun" and "payah kun" are just part of the story's language and do not directly indicate a child audience. The provided translation support is not relevant to the audience being children. The description of geological features (creation of Himalayan Mountains) is more of a plot element rather than a feature indicating a child audience.

Answer:

• the repetition of words and patterns
• the use of animals to tell a magical story
