Question

Read the following passage:
My eyes scanned the plains where I had hunted bison, the
creek where I had gotten water. They could no more take
this land from me than I could give it freely. It was never
mine to give, and I had never thought that I owned it. I used
it in accordance with what the gods had given me. And
now I was being forced to leave.

Answer 1

Answer:

After going through the passage, the details that give it a reflective tone include the narrator's mention of land ownership and also the narrator's thoughts on hunting a bison.

So, the options A and C are the ones suitable to provide the said tone.

Explanation:

Reflective writing is not about a description only. It involves an analysis, the analysis of an idea, event, scene, memory or a passing thought from different perspectives. Along with this analysis, a personal reflection is added which goes on to reveal a meaning or an additional learning.

Here, in the passage the author revisits the plains and the creek which reminds him of a lot of things. To that he adds his personal reflection which divulges what he feels and thinks about the place.
