Question

which two sentences from passage 1 that support the answer to the previous question?
a. and the boys, like korinko and mejooli, divide their time between herding the cattle and playing. (paragraph 2)
b. now that morning had come, the animals stood waiting to graze. (paragraph 4)
c. when the bird’s chirping song changed, korinko and mejooli knew their goal was near. (paragraph 16)
d. korinko gritted his teeth and accepted the stings as a fair price to pay for the honey. (paragraph 22)
e. the boys had only taken a few steps toward home when the bird fluttered down to claim his prize... (paragraph 25)

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume the previous question was about the boys' journey or quest (e.g., finding honey or reaching a goal). Let's analyze each option:

• Option a: Talks about dividing time between herding and playing. Doesn't support a quest/goal - related answer.
• Option b: About animals waiting to graze. Irrelevant to the boys' goal.
• Option c: Shows the boys (Korinko and Mejooli) knowing their goal was near from the bird's song change. Supports a goal - related answer.
• Option d: Korinko accepting stings for honey. If the previous answer was about getting honey, this supports it (paying the price for honey).
• Option e: The bird claiming its prize after the boys start home. More about the aftermath, not supporting the journey/goal.

Assuming the previous question was about the boys' quest to get honey (or reach a goal), options c and d are relevant. But if we assume the previous question was about their journey to a goal (like finding honey), c (knowing goal near) and d (paying price for honey) support it. However, if we take a common scenario where the previous question was about the boys' determination or their quest for honey, c and d are the best. But since we need two, let's confirm:

If the previous answer was about the boys' quest to get honey, c shows they knew they were near the goal (from the bird's song), and d shows Korinko's determination to get honey (accepting stings as a fair price). So the two sentences are c and d.

To determine the supporting sentences, we analyze their relevance to a likely previous question (e.g., about the boys' quest/goal). Option c shows the boys knowing their goal was near (from the bird's song change), and option d shows Korinko's determination to get honey (accepting stings as a fair price for honey). Other options are irrelevant to a goal - related context.

Answer:

c. When the bird’s chirping song changed, Korinko and Mejooli knew their goal was near. (paragraph 16)
d. Korinko gritted his teeth and accepted the stings as a fair price to pay for the honey. (paragraph 22)
