Answer:

Our Town is considered a universal work of literature because

C) The theme of Our Town transcends time and location.

Explanation:

"Our Town" is a play by Thornton Wilder. It tells the story of Emily and George, daughter and son of two of the main families in the fictional town of Grover's Corners. The story begins in 1901 and covers a part of Emily and George's childhood. The two of them get married but Emily dies at childbirth. The lesson learned by Emily after her death is that the living have very little understanding of life and death, and are incapable of seizing and enjoying the moment.

The theme above is universal. Life and death, childhood and maturity, a deeper understanding of life and love, it can all revolve around characters who live anywhere in the world at any time period. It is not exclusive of certain people, countries, or cultures. Even if we did not know anything about the play, we could infer the answer due to the explanation offered in the question. Aristotle said literature indicates what is true for all times and ages. We were told to read Aristotle's saying before choosing an answer. Therefore, we can safely conclude the best option is C) The theme of Our Town transcends time and location.

Narrate one Africa Traditional story on creation​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

This story is about the universe's creation, popular among the Yorubas. Yoruba is the name of a nation predominantly in West Africa, particularly, Nigeria, the Republic of Benin, and Togo.

The story begins with the spiritual descension or coming down from heaven by a mystical god known as Obatala.

Obatala came from heaven under the instruction of Olodumare, the Supreme God. While Obatala was coming, he came with a hen that has seven legs, and a snail shell that has sand.

Obatala was tasked by Olodumare to create land on the water. When he reached the earth and saw the earth full of water, he pours the mystical sand on the water, and then placed hen with seven legs to spread it all over the world.

The spreading of the sand with the legs of the hen is a sign of expansion, which is a rough translation of "Ile-Ife." (The expanding house).

It was in Ile-Ife, Obatala first landed and the beginning of sand expansion started. It was after this the creation of humans by Olodumare, the Supreme God, started fully.
