It is important to know the author's purpose because knowing the author's purpose can change how the story is being told. If someone said,"Mom, I would really like this new video game for my birthday." and the author's purpose was to inform, it would be informing the mom that the person wanted the video game. If the author's purpose was to persuade, that person would be persuading the mom to get him the video game.

The correct answer is D. Useless attempts to change fate
Explanation:
In both the myth and the play, the main characters of the story try to avoid a prediction or prophecy. In the case of the myth, Cronus wants to prevent his overthrow, while in the play, Odewale wants to avoid killing his father. However, despite their effort and actions at the end, the prophecy is fulfilled. This shows the fate can not be avoided and any attempt is useless. In this context, one motif (recurrent symbol) in these literary works is "useless attempts to change fate" because in both texts this general idea is shown through the plot and actions of the characters.
