Answer 5

I apologize for not supporting my answers with evidence from the text. Let me provide the evidence to support the correct answers.

The passage mentions the "Yamanba of the Mountain" who is described as a "fearsome giantess." This suggests that the people in this setting fear things needlessly, as they perceive this character to be fearsome. Therefore, the answer "The story is set in a place where people fear things needlessly" is supported by the evidence provided in the passage.

Additionally, the passage mentions that the Yamanba "was always stealing the villagers' rice cakes." This implies that rice is a common food in this setting, as the villagers are depicted as having rice cakes. Therefore, the answer "The story is set in a place where rice is a common food" is also supported by the evidence in the passage.
