B. If she don’t get there before the dust settles, you can bet she’s dead, that’s all.

In writing/literature, things can be said in one of two ways—literally and figuratively. To say something literally, naturally, one means exactly what the words say. When one says something figuratively, one does not mean exactly what is written for the sake of conveying a meaning that is engaging to readers by manner of personification, hyperbole, metaphor, simile, etc. That said, when we read option “B,” we know the author does not literally mean there is dust settling or that anyone will be dead. What is meant is that when tensions subside she will be in a lot of trouble.

Myths often function as a connection to culture, or the customs and beliefs of a group of people. Myths in a way are what makes a certain nation's culture - everything we know today originated from myths, beliefs, and legends. Myths were told in order to for people to explain what was happening around them - things they could not understand. ~~~Hope this helps~~
