The correct answer is A. In "How Old Man Winter Was Driven Back," the change in seasons is shown as a violent battle. In "How the World Was Made," the change in seasons is shown as a natural, peaceful transition.

Explanation:

The two passages in the question present to different myths in the first one or "How Old Man Winter Was Driven Back" tells the way winter ended and for doing this the author describes a struggle between the winter and the agent that ends it describing it as " I, too, am powerful, and I am young! I do not fear you" and the struggle between both "See! Already he begins to send down his arrows". On the other hand, the second passage "How the World Was Made" the change of seasons is described through the trees "Only the cedar, the pine, the spruce, the holly, and the laurel were awake all seven nights" and the way the season changes as some stay awake and other go to sleep.

Therefore, the first myth presented the change in seasons as a violent struggle, while the second myth shows this as a natural transition. Therefore, the difference between these myths is that "In "How Old Man Winter Was Driven Back," the change in seasons is shown as a violent battle. In "How the World Was Made," the change in seasons is shown as a natural, peaceful transition".

Explanation:

In the excerpt from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Antony stands next to Caesar's body and asks him for forgiveness for talking politely to his murderers: "O pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!"

Then he foresees that a curse will fall, that there will be a terribly violent civil war, and that people will become evil and cruel:

"A curse shall light upon the limbs of men; Domestic fury and fierce civil strife Shall cumber all the parts of Italy; Blood and destruction shall be so in use, And dreadful objects so familiar, That mothers shall but smile when they behold Their infants quartered with the hands of war, All pity choked with custom of fell deeds (...)"

Finally, he refers to Caesar's ghost, who will come back for revenge:

"And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice Cry "Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war (...)"
