Question

Based on this excerpt from "The Way to Rainy Mountain" by N. Scott Momaday, what can you infer was not a prominent part of the author's culture?


Their wives and daughters served them well. The women might indulge themselves; gossip was at once the mark and compensation of their servitude. They made loud and elaborate talk among themselves, full of jest and gesture, fright and false alarm. They went abroad in fringed and flowered shawls, bright beadwork and German silver. They were at home in the kitchen, and they prepared meals that were banquets.

Answer 1

A) elaborately made traditional clothing
B) food in cultural celebrations
C) men and women adhering to traditional gender roles
D) men cooking holiday meals
