How does the excerpt from paragraph 1 below contribute to the reader’s understanding of the passage?

• The excerpt illustrates why the narrator feels safe riding Kari through the jungle at night.

• The excerpt demonstrates that Kari does not serve a true purpose in the narrator’s village.

• The excerpt establishes that the narrator comes from a village that respects and honors animal life.

• The excerpt proves the people in the narrator’s village do not know how to train animals for hunting.
