The correct answer is A) He set his daughter and her child adrift at sea in a sealed chest.

What Acrisius did to try to keep the prophecy of his death from being fulfilled was that he set his daughter and her child adrift at sea in a sealed chest.

We are referring to Greek mythology. After consulting the Oracle of Delphi, Acricus was told that one day he will be killed by the son of his daughter Danae. That is why he decided to imprison his daughter in a chamber, but God Zeus impregnates her. The baby was named Perseus. Angered by the situation, Acrius decided to put Danae and the baby in a chest and he threw into the sea. Zeus and Poseidon intervene and save the mother and the child.

What is the voice in a text??
Alex17521 [72]
Well, when you're reading something, the words are being read aloud in your head.  That voice is the 'voice' that we talk about in school.  It's the style and word choice of the person who's writing it, and how that gets translated into our heads as a character speaking.  Hope this helps!  c:
