Explanation:
In the text, <em>Athena and Poseidon'd Contest for Athens</em>, the speaker talks about how the gods Athena and Poseidon were in a contest for the possession of the city of Athens. The story of how Athena came to be the <em>"patron deity of Athens"</em> reveals how the modern-day Athens came to be.
Paragraph 1 of the text describes how major gods were the basis of how the modern-day cities were established. Though ancient in their legends, they are nonetheless <em>"often conscripted into worthy causes, such as the creation of a new town; laying the metaphoric foundations for what was to prosper into our contemporary major cities that we still walk in today"</em>. The use of the word <em>"metaphoric foundations" </em>reveals how these mythic ideas became the basis of what a city was built on.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
