Without the specific passage provided, I can’t give the exact answers. However, based on the options presented, you should look for clues in the figurative language that suggest cultural significance or values within the story.

Typically, if delicacies, bravery, or even mythical elements (like flying babies) are mentioned figuratively, those would lend insight into the cultural context. Based on general patterns:
