answer: A
Reply:Item C is the closest to the answer, but not accurate. Chief Seattle, as all great leaders of the time, had to convey to the adversaries that he couldn't control his young warriors because they were not only filled with pride and anger, they wanted to prove their warriorhood against the tribe's enemies.





This way, they could each make an honorable name for themselves as a true warrior, reaching status, and then be able to offer suitable dowry for a bride.
