The approach that Baldwin suggests is that of seeing the gods not as personifications of natural elements, but as gods themselves. Baldwin believes this approach to be more charming and fairer to the stories.
The main reason why Baldwin argues this is that he believes this is what the Greek people intended when telling the stories. By arguing the opposite, we are putting our own ideologies and points of view on them, instead of appreciating things as they described them. We also attempt to give the myths a useful and practical meaning (which he describes as utilitarian) instead of appreciating the spiritual and aesthetic elements of the story.

One of the rhetorical techniques that Jefferson uses in the Declaration of Independence is repetition. This is used to great effect in the body of the document, as he is listing the grievances that the colonists hold against the King. After starting the declaration with a logical account of the colonists’ need to establish independence, Jefferson then delineates all of the reasons that King George has given them to revolt. He gives 27different transgressions that King George has committed, all beginning with the words “He has” or “For.” The first one, for example, is
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
The effect of repetition in this section of the document is to emphasize how unfairly the British have treated the colonies. Putting all the grievances together in this fashion, with the repeated introductory word(s) gives the impression that the list just goes “on and on.”

Therefore, from the options given,
Option A is incorrect as the passage didn't talk about the beauty of the young man.
Though it was stated that he had nothing to give, but been poor and alone does not describe an heroic behavior.
Similarly, an unkept promise isn't an heroic quality.
Therefore, his pride and confidence are the heroic qualities Perseus demonstrated.
Answer:
If you are talking about pros vs. cons then it's fairly easy. Pros is what makes something good or helpful while cons is the very opposite.
Explanation:
Example: Banana
pros: has lots of nutrition in it, tastiest when the color is rich yellow with a few dark spots, can even be useful in some baking recipes if other ingredients are not available, etc.
cons: the dark spots inside the banana, leaves a funny feeling in your mouth if it's not ready yet, etc.
(and if you're talking about pros as people, let's just say that they are really good at something that they spend a lot of time on, for ex: Grian, the god of building in Minecraft)
