I believe that based on this context, Faustus is being compared to Icarus.
In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of Daedalus, who created a labyrinth where Minotaur was kept imprisoned. Daedalus and Icarus were too prisoners of the same island, and they wanted to escape using the wings that Daedalus made. However, Icarus flew too high near the Sun, and the wax on his wings melted and he fell to his death.
I'm not sure what your options are, but here's what I've come up with:
The reason for our tardiness was because we got stuck in traffic.
In cruel tribute, the author build suspense most by: waiting to reveal the minotaur
I the stories, the city where the main character lives annually gave out a sacrificial victim to be eaten by the Minotaur in order to prevent the destruction of the entire city .Because of this, A lot of suspense was created everytime the characters stand and wait for the arrival of the minotaur that come for its victim.
B.) 2: A load would be the best anwer
