Let’s solve this step by step.
We are looking for words from the legend that match the given definitions. The first letter of each word is already given to help us.
---
Question 1: “The beginning of something” — starts with O
Look at the text:
> “There is an old Guarani Native American legend that relates the
origins of the Guarani...”
“Origins” means where something begins or comes from — so it matches “the beginning of something.”
Also, check if there’s another word starting with O? Let’s scan:
- “ocean” → not about beginnings
- “old” → describes age, not a start
- “once” → not in the text
- “origins” → YES! Perfect fit.
✔ So, answer for #1 is
origins

Question 2: “Those from whom people descend” — starts with A
This means ancestors — the people you come from, like your grandparents’ grandparents.
Look at the text:
> “According to the legend, the
ancestors of the Guarani at one time in the distant past crossed a great and spacious ocean...”
“Ancestors” = those from whom people descend. Exactly what we need!
Check other A words?
- “Americas” → place, not people
- “agricultural” → adjective about farming
- “and” → connector
- “ancestors” → YES! Perfect match.
✔ So, answer for #2 is
ancestors

Final Answer:
1. origins
2. ancestors
