    Answer:a. The shaman would perform a more extreme exorcism, such as whipping or starving the person.

    Explanation:

    The whipping was done because it was believed that they were actually whipping the demon inside of that person so that it may feel the pain and leave the person's body.

    They also starved the person with the purpose that it will starve the demon inside them and that will cause it to leave the person's body as it experiences extreme hunger.
