 </span>3. Setting is a previous proto-world (somewhat like this one but also different)
.4. Plot may involve interplay between worlds (this world and previous or original world)
.5. Depicts events that bend or break natural laws (reflective of connection to previous world)
.6.  Cosmogonic/metaphysical explanation of universe (formative of worldview).
7.  Functional: “Charter for social action” – conveys how to live: assumptions, values, core meanings of individuals, families, communities.
8. Evokes the presence of Mystery, the Unknown (has a “sacred” tinge).
9. Reflective and formative of basic structures (dualities: light/dark, good/bad, being/nothingness, raw/cooked, etc.) that we must reconcile. Dualities often mediated by characters in myths.
10. Common theme: language helps order the world (cosmos); thus includes many lists, names, etc.
11. Metaphoric, narrative consideration/explanation of “ontology” (study of being). Myths seek to answer, “Why are we here?” “Who are we?” “What is our purpose?” etc. – life’s fundamental questions
.<span>12. Sometimes: the narrative aspect of a significant ritual (core narrative of most important religious practices of society; fundamentally connected to belief system; sometimes the source of rituals)</span>

PART A: Which statement identifies the central idea of the text?Why it matters THAT TEENS ARE READING LESS
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The missing options are:

A. The time that teenagers spend with digital media negatively impacts their ability to make sense of longer and more complex written material.

B. Teenagers are not developing the social skills they need to succeed in the world, as digital devices encourage them to spend time alone.

C. Fast-paced games and constantly updating social media makes it difficult for teenagers to be entertained by paper media, such as books and magazines.

D. The time that teenagers spend playing video games or on social media takes away from their commitment to their studies, negatively affecting their grades.

<u>The answer is </u><u>A</u>

Explanation:

The central idea is that teenagers spend less time reading for pleasure, which includes reading books, magazines, or newspapers and more time on the internet or social media. As a consequence, they do not develop critical thinking skills, do not reflect enough on topics, do not comprehend long texts, and find it hard to read them.

The text mentions other changes during the years but insists that the one with the more negative impact is the decrease in reading for pleasure.
