The later quote from the story that confirms my answer to Part A is: "As the Minotaur bellowed in his ear and grabbed at him with its hairy arms, Theseus found a strength which he did not know he possessed." (Paragraph 21)
<h3>What was the prompt in Part A?</h3>
In Part A of the text, we are asked how the interaction between Theseus and King Minos in paragraphs 12-15 contributes to the plot as a whole.
The answer to that question is: D. It further contrasts King Minos' villainous ways with Theseus' bravery, setting Theseus up as the hero.
Paragraph 21 of the text supports this answer because it portrays the strength of Theseus who boldly fought the Minotaur.
