Answer:
Lebron is paid so much because of his economic value to the team, NBA, and city that he plays in. He is actually under-paid for his true value along with a few other superstars because of salary caps and maximum salaries allowed.
Explanation:
Basically In this era, the most important television properties are live events, that people want to see in real time without dvr-ing, because the advertisements are guaranteed to be seen by a huge audience. This is why television rights to sports are massive. The NBA is popular world wide (unlike American football) and their stars don’t wear helmets covering their face. The players are market-ball, recognizable and a single great player can bring a team into contention for a championship. Lebron is arguably the best player ever and so any fan of basketball, whether they like him or not, wants to see him. He has crossover appeal, so even non sports fans want to see him. There are only a handful of people in any industry that the whole world pays attention to and so, he gets paid a lot even if it’s no where near what he’s actually worth.

An epic simile is basically a regular simile, but it takes place over the course of several lines in poetry. There is no evidence in the excerpt provided that the correct answer could be a simile, so we’ll rule that option out.
The phrase starting in medias generally means that it’s a somewhat introduction. It can often introduce the story in the beginning, or be a great start if you want to start your story with a flashback. I’d say this is a good answer for the question, but just in case there’s a better one let’s go over the other options as well.
To invoke the muse would be to get inspiration for whatever it is you’re going to start doing. For example, let’s say you’re writing a story, and you have no ‘muse.’ Here you’d ‘pray to the muse gods’ to give you muse, or in another word, inspiration. This is clearly not the answer because the passage is not invoking any muse. They clearly already know which direction they’re taking with the story.
And finally, the use of epithets would be to specifically describing something and/ or someone. Sure, this passage caries descriptive detail, but that’s not its primary focus.
In conclusion, the correct answer to this question is b ) starting in medias res
