Questions: Which excerpt from "The Beginnings of the Maasai" is the best example of a feature found in myths?

The answer is the last one: "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 for each option:

1. "My job is important, so I work hard to do it well, even though the cattle can sometimes be troublesome." - This statement reflects a personal perspective and work ethic, which is not a typical feature of myths. Myths often involve supernatural elements or explanations for natural phenomena.

2. "You see, soon after I was born, a massive volcano erupted right in the middle of the cattle plains." - While this excerpt mentions a natural event, it does not include mythical elements such as gods, supernatural beings, or creation stories, which are common in myths.

3. "When we have rituals or community celebrations, I have to bring the cattle, because their presence is essential." - This excerpt describes cultural practices and the importance of cattle, but it lacks the mythical elements like supernatural beings or events.

4. "One by one, Enkai sent the cattle walking down branches of the fig tree, all the way down to the roots at the ground." - This excerpt is the best example of a feature found in myths. It includes a supernatural element, with Enkai (a deity) sending cattle down a fig tree, which is a fantastical event typical of mythological stories.
