Explanation:

Brief Explanations

For Section A:

  1. The text describes a modern, realistic scenario with no ties to traditional legendary elements (heroic figures, quests, repeated patterns), so it is not a legend.
  2. The text is a classic medieval-style challenge (a contest to strike a blow for an axe) tied to the King Arthur legend context, fitting the definition of a legend. The contest is the challenge to strike a blow for the axe.

For Section B:

  • Option A is wrong because legends are not true stories and focus on the past, not modern heroes.
  • Option B is wrong because legends are anonymous, not written by famous people.
  • Option C is correct as it matches the given definition of legends (anonymous traditional past stories with heroic figures/deeds).
  • Option D is wrong because the text states medieval writers added romance to legends.

Answer:

Section A

  1. no legend
  2. legend

(Circled words: dare strike me one stroke for another)

Section B

C. Legends tell the story of heroes and memorable deeds from the past.
