Question

Theseus and the Minotaur

Answer 1

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)

What was the prompt in Part A?

• 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.
