Humankind did not create Earth - it was a gift from the gods. What began as a handful of dirt on the back of a turtle grew into the rolling hills and vast plains we see today. Everything on Earth, including the rivers and trees and even the animals, is a gift that has been entrusted to humans. The gods have given us this land to care for, and we should use only what we need.

Which of these most closely matches the tone of the passage?

A. But the grasshopper, who had played all summer long, found that when winter came he had no food to eat.

B. What was happening to our nature preserve? I looked around at the empty cans, plastic bags, and broken glass.

C. The Iroquois fashioned intricate jewelry and headpieces to be used in religious ceremonies.

D. Once there was a little girl who had a very difficult childhood. Little did she know that she would one day be crowned queen of her country.
