Question

you and the group of travelers finally reach the cave and plan how you’ll defeat the dragon. as a group, you decide to distract the dragon so that you can sneak into the cave without being noticed. before you put your plan into action, one of the travelers encourages the group by yelling, “remember, the dragon may breathe fire, but we have fire in our hearts!”

what do you think the phrase “fire in our hearts” means?

○ the travelers are feeling ill and have physical pain.
○ the travelers are discouraged and unmotivated.
○ the travelers have an actual fire in their hearts.
○ the travelers have courage and determination.

Explanation:

The phrase "fire in our hearts" is a metaphor. In the context of preparing to face a dragon, it's not literal (so not the option about an actual fire in hearts) or about illness/pain. Being discouraged (second option) is the opposite of having "fire" as encouragement. So it means the travelers have courage and determination to face the dragon.

Answer:

D. The travelers have courage and determination.
