For generations, Native Americans used myths and legends to explain the mysterious world around them. One such etiological myth originated with the Cherokee. According to the tale, at one time, far in the past, animals, birds, fishes, and even insects were able to communicate with one another. When humans arrived, however, life became more difficult because the creatures’ habitats began to shrink. In order to protect themselves, the creatures decided to introduce disease to humans. The plant world, however, took sympathy upon the Cherokee and so provided a remedy for each of the diseases created by the creatures. It was because of this, says the legend, that the Cherokee turned to plants for antidotes and medicines for illness. [br] Which of the following describes the organization of the passage?
选项
A、The author defines a theory then illustrates its workings.
B、The author argues for one side then presents a counterargument.
C、The author defends an early explanation of aboriginal medical practices.
D、The author introduces a subject then gives an example of it.
E、The author compares two versions of a creation myth to determine which is the original.
答案
D
解析
