read the summary of the contemporary novel jurassic park.
a wealthy businessman uses modern dna technology to bring dinosaurs back from extinction. he breeds many varieties of dinosaurs and plans to open a theme park where visitors can see them. however, the dinosaurs soon escape their pens and wreak havoc across the park, resulting in death and destruction.
how did ancient greek mythological literature most likely influence this story?

• through the emphasis on scientific advances
• through the use of frightening creatures
• through the emphasis on natural settings
• through the use of everyday occupations

Explanation:

Ancient Greek mythological literature often features terrifying creatures (e.g., monsters like the Minotaur, Hydra) that pose threats and cause chaos. In Jurassic Park, dinosaurs (frightening creatures) escape and cause destruction, similar to how mythological creatures create turmoil. The other options don’t fit: scientific advances are modern, not myth - related; natural settings aren’t a key mythological influence here; and everyday occupations aren’t a focus of Greek myths or this story.

Answer:

B. through the use of frightening creatures
