Question

read the excerpt from the metamorphoses by ovid. the nereids wonder at the groves, the cities, and the houses under water, dolphins get into the woods, and run against the lofty branches, and beat against the tossed oaks. the wolf swims among the sheep; the wave carries along the tawny lions, the wave carries along the tigers. neither does the powers of his lightning - shock avail the wild boar, nor his swift legs the stag, now borne away. the wandering bird, too, having long sought for land, where it may be allowed to light, its wings failing, falls down into the sea. the boundless range of the sea had overwhelmed the hills, and the stranger waves beat against the heights of the mountains. the greatest part is carried off by the water, those whom the water spares, long fastings overcome, through scantiness of food. read the excerpt from the adaptation \the flood\ by which statement best explains how the two excerpts differ? ovid focuses on the cause of the flood, while baldwin does not. baldwin includes details about the setting, while ovid does not. ovid emphasizes how the flood affects the animals and the setting, while baldwin does not. baldwin describes the reactions of some of the other supernatural characters, while ovid does not.

Explanation:

The Ovid excerpt vividly shows how the flood impacts animals like dolphins in woods, wolves among sheep etc. and the setting with sea overwhelming hills. There is no indication of Baldwin's excerpt doing the same based on the given Ovid - only information.

Answer:

C. Ovid emphasizes how the flood affects the animals and the setting, while Baldwin does not.
