Question

Hannah read two transgression myths—myths in which a character violates an important societal rule. In the first myth, the character who commits a transgression is killed by the gods. In the second myth, the character becomes the father of a cursed race of people. Hannah needs to compare and contrast these two myths. She has written that “those who violate the rules will be punished with death.” Which of the following is true of this observation?
A) It applies to the second myth only.
B) It applies to neither myth.
C) It applies to the first myth only.
D) It applies to both myths.

Answer 1

Hannah's observation applies to the first myth only.

Explanation:

A myth is a traditional folk story concerning the origin and history of a society or different social and natural phenomenons. They usually involve supernatural creatures and events and convey a message about what is right and wrong.

In both myths Hannah has read, there is a punishment for the violation of societal rules. These punishments are different. In the first myth, that is death, while in the second, the character does not die but becomes the father of a cursed race of people. So, Hannah's statement that those who violate the rules will be punished with death applies to the first myth only.
