Which sentence in the story best indicates that it is an emergence creation story?
In the beginning all men lived together in the lowest depths, in a region of darkness and moisture; their bodies were misshapen and horrible,
and they suffered great misery.
By appealing to Myuingwa (a vague conception of the god of the interior) and Baholinkonga (plumed serpent of enormous size, genius of water)
their old men obtained seed from which sprang a magic growth of cane.
The cane grew to miraculous height and penetrated through a crevice in the roof overhead, and mankind climbed to a higher plane. Here was
dim light and some vegetation. Another magic cane brought them to a higher plane, with more light and vegetation, and here was the creation
of the animal kingdom. Singing was always the chief magic for creating anything. In like manner, they rose to the fourth stage or Earth; some say
by a pine tree, others say through the hollow cylinder of a great reed or rush.
This development was accompanied by singing-some say by the Magic Twins, the two little war gods; others say by the mockingbird. At any
rate, it is important to observe that when the song ran out, no more people could get through and many had to remain behind.
However, the outlet through which man came has never been closed, and Myuingwa sends through it the germs of all living things.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
