Read the following tahitian myth and answer the question that follows.
tahiti was destroyed by the sea. even the trees and stones were carried away by the wind. but two people were saved. the wife took up her young chicken, her young dog, and her kitten, and the husband took up his young pig. the husband said they should escape to mount orofena, but the wife said (correctly) that the flood would reach even there, and they should go to mount pita-hiti instead, which they did. they watched ten nights till the sea ebbed. the land, though, remained without produce, and the fish in the rock crevices were putrid. when the wind died away, stones and trees began to fall from the heavens, where the winds had carried them. to escape this new danger, the couple dug a hole, lined it with grass, and covered it over with stones and earth. they crept inside and listened to the terrible crash of the falling stones. by and by, the falling stones stopped, but to be safe, they waited another night before coming out. the land they found was desolate. the woman brought forth two children, a son and a daughter, but grieved about the lack of food. again the mother brought forth, but still there was no food. then in three days, all the trees bore fruit. all people are descended from that couple. the supreme god was angry and dragged the earth through the sea. by a happy chance, the island of tahiti broke off and was preserved.
based on this myth, all of the following inferences about the tahitian culture can be made except:
a.
tahiti is a landlocked country.
b.
tahitians must have feared the supreme god.
c.
it is possible that tahitians experienced a famine.
d.
there must have been a major flood that affected tahiti.
