Question

question 9 of 10
how do modern monsters differ from historical monsters?

a. modern monsters struggle with external conflicts; historical monsters struggled with only internal conflicts.

b. modern monsters cannot be identified by physical characteristics alone; historical monsters could be.

c. modern monsters are outcasts from society; historical monsters sought to destroy society from within.

d. modern monsters pose more of a threat to a society than the historical monsters of the past.

Explanation:

• Option A: Historical monsters often had external conflicts (like battling heroes), and modern monsters can have internal conflicts too, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: Historical monsters (e.g., dragons, cyclops) were identifiable by physical traits. Modern monsters (e.g., serial killers, corrupt leaders) aren't just defined by looks, so this is correct.
• Option C: Both modern and historical monsters can be outcasts or seek to destroy society, so this distinction is wrong.
• Option D: It's not accurate to say modern monsters are more of a threat; threat perception varies, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Modern monsters cannot be identified by physical characteristics alone; historical monsters could be.
