The answer is false.  Superstition is based more on irrational fears rather than rational thinking.  It was brought about due to an ominous experience or occurrence that has later evolved into a system of customs, beliefs and traditions of things people can’t explain.

Read the section "Believer By Imagine Dragons."
qaws [65]

Explanation:

Being told what the song is about, helps the reader understand the lyrics.

Because the reader is told what the song is about, we know what the lyrics mean. The lyrics reinforce what the song is about, like how a simile reinforces what a passage is about. Think about this: If an author wrote, "The man was as brave as a lion,", instead of, "The man was brave", this is a much better choice of words.

Similarly to the passage, by using similes in the lyrics to better emphasize overcoming emotional and physical pain, the song helps the reader understand better the message of the song.

Answer:

So, by reading the section, the reader understands that a simile is about two things being compared to one another, like how the song compares physical pain to a choking rain of ashes.

Which statement is most likely a theme of a work of fiction? A) traditions are important and can help make our lives meaningful.
VikaD [51]

Answer:

A. Traditions are important and can help make our lives meaningful.

Explanation:

That answer choice is a theme and its the best answer choice. I chose it because its talking about holidays and the general information on how they are meaningful and could impact our lives. The other answer choices are opinions; Tamara practices hard is an opinion from one person, Our state is home to the mountain doesn't tell us any specific information including the state, and many Americans spend time with family is okay but it's not the best and some people don't even celebrate holidays with their family. So therefore the best answer choice is A.
