Answer 1

Hi Robby,
your answer is - It reveals how connected Aho was to the history of her people.
Goodluck:)

Answer 2

The correct answer is D.

The use of figurative language in this sentence tries to show that, even though Momaday's grandmother, Aho, was forced to live in the shadow of the Rainy Mountain in Oklahoma and leave her original land, she always carried the immense landscape of Montana with her like it was a part of her, like it was in her blood.
