[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: A story tells about an elder villager who led other villagers carrying salt day and night to a town in order to buy food for the winter. One night they camped in an open air with a starry sky above. The elder villager, following the tradition passed down from ancestors, took out three blocks of salt and threw them into the campfire to tell the change of weather in the mountains. All people waited for the old man's "weather report": if the salt in the fire produced crackling sound , they would have good weather; if no sound was produced, it then meant the good weather would soon end and a storm would come at any moment.

C He didn't believe the traditional way could forecast the weather by using salt. D He thought the salt could tell us the weather. Answer: C He didn't believe the traditional way could forecast the weather by using salt. Question:
