    Who said this..."Look at him now.  Standing there cold-blooded as any redskin.  I'll warrant he's hatching out deviltry in his heart."

    Explanation
    The correct answer is Uncle Wilse. This can be inferred from the statement "Look at him now. Standing there cold-blooded as any redskin. I'll warrant he's hatching out deviltry in his heart." The use of the term "Uncle" suggests a familial relationship, and the name "Wilse Owens" is mentioned in the question. Therefore, it can be concluded that the person who said this is Uncle Wilse Owens.

    Who said this..."He don't know his own name.  He don't even know when it's Sunday."

    Explanation
    The correct answer is Aunt Kate. The statement suggests that the person being referred to is someone close to True Son, as they know personal details about him such as his name and awareness of the day of the week. Among the given options, Aunt Kate is the most likely candidate as she is related to True Son and would have knowledge about him.

    When Parson Elder told True Son he had seen white children murdered and scalped by Indians, True Son

    • Angrily refused to believe him

    • Grudgingly admitted it might be ture

    • Silently considered the parson's statement

    • Recognized the truth of his words

    Correct Answer
    A. Angrily refused to believe him
    Explanation
    True Son's reaction of angrily refusing to believe Parson Elder's statement suggests that he strongly disagrees with the claim that white children have been murdered and scalped by Indians. This response indicates that True Son may have a biased or negative view towards white people, possibly due to his own experiences or beliefs.

    • Bejance

    • Alec

    • Corn Blade

    • Little Crane

    Correct Answer
    A. Corn Blade
    Explanation
    Corn Blade is the correct answer because the question states that the man who can speak Deleware lives on the third mountain. Since there is no information given about the other options (Bejance, Alec, and Little Crane), we can only conclude that Corn Blade is the correct answer based on the information provided.

    Parson Elder hoped True Son would

    • Leave before he corrupted the young whites

    • Remain unwed and serve his mother

    • Marry a white girl and settle down

    • Marry an Indian girl

    Correct Answer
    A. Marry a white girl and settle down
    Explanation
    Parson Elder hoped that True Son would marry a white girl and settle down. This suggests that Parson Elder wanted True Son to assimilate into white society and abandon his Native American heritage. By marrying a white girl and settling down, True Son would be seen as conforming to the expectations and norms of the white community. This would also ensure that True Son's influence on the young whites would be minimized, as Parson Elder feared that True Son's presence would corrupt them.

    • Did not know what stairs were

    Correct Answer
    A. Did not know what stairs were
    Explanation
    True Son did not want to climb the stairs to his mother's room because he did not know what stairs were. This suggests that True Son is unfamiliar with the concept of stairs and therefore does not understand their purpose or how to navigate them. As a result, he may feel hesitant or unsure about climbing them, leading to his reluctance to meet his mother in her room.
