question 10 of 10 what is one distinguishing characteristic of a myth?
a. rising action, a climax, and a conclusion
b. supernatural creatures, such as gods
c. a set of laws that can help people keep order
d. questions that encourage further thought

Explanation:

• Option A: Rising action, climax, and conclusion are common in many narratives (like stories, novels), not unique to myths.
• Option B: Myths often feature supernatural beings (gods, goddesses, mythical creatures) to explain natural phenomena, cultural beliefs, etc. This is a key distinguishing feature.
• Option C: Myths are not sets of laws; legal codes or religious doctrines (not myths) are more about order - keeping laws.
• Option D: Encouraging further thought with questions is more associated with philosophical or educational texts, not a defining trait of myths.

Answer:

B. Supernatural creatures, such as gods
