Question

if a writer were writing a modern - day story based on the theseus myth featured in \cruel tribute,\ what would the storys plot most likely include?
○ a young man beginning a political career in hopes of one day becoming head of the country
○ a young man learning the family business so he can take over for his father when he retires
○ a young man preparing to take a trip around the world with his friends and his family
○ a young man searching through a new city, trying to find his lost friends before they are harmed

Explanation:

In the Theseus myth (from "Cruel Tribute"), Theseus goes to save others (like the Athenian youths) from harm. The option "a young man searching through a new city, trying to find his lost friends before they are harmed" aligns with the heroic quest to rescue others, similar to Theseus' mission. The other options (political career, family business, world trip) don't match the myth's theme of rescuing others from danger.

Answer:

D. a young man searching through a new city, trying to find his lost friends before they are harmed
