Answer:

A heuristic

Explanation:

A heuristic is an approach to problem solving in which previous experiences are used to develop or derive a strategy to solve a problem. This method does not necessarily mean that it will be perfect for the goal or problem, but it is sufficient to provide a quick access (like a shortcuts) to the solution given the time frame. This is the reason why Joe asked the librarian, because this would save him a lot of time, and this would provide quick access to the book he is looking for. He then banks on the experience of the librarian to help him locate the book in a very short period of time instead of examining all books on the shelf.

I believe the missing excerpt is from Midsummer by Derek Walcott, which is as follows:

 

With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, 
midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn's fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.

 

So, based on the excerpt, the speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable.

 

To add, Midsummer is a sequence of 54 lyrics that record one year's passing in the poet's life from summer to summer.

Neiterkob’s daughter most likely tell the myth “The Beginnings of the Maasai” to explain the readers the origin of Maasai culture. Option C is correct.

Neiterkob’s daughter finds it necessary to tell the myth  “The Beginnings of the Maasai” in order to explain the origin to the readers, so that they will have broader knowledge and will grasp a better notion about it and will not feel lost or confused while reading this story.
