Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the text for reference, the question, and also the options for this question. However, doing some research we can say the following.

The question was "Select a possible theme of the myth."

The answer would be: Money does not bring as much happiness as friendship.

The summary of the story is that Silenus was missing and Bacchus was looking for him. King Midas found him and treated really well and got him back to Bacchus. As a thank you gift, Bacchus gave the King the option to choose a skill. Midas chose to convert into gold everything he touched.

He got it. However, literally, everything he touched turned into gold, including food, wine, and water. He soon realized that he was a bot to starve and went to visit Bacchus to help him and override the "skill."

That is why the moral of the story is that better have good friends and enjoy life than to amaze richness.
