○ dana should ask, “what was the effect of pandora’s box upon greek culture?” using a blog for research.

Explanation:

Dana's essay needs to cover the myth and its modern cultural impact. Her first question is about the myth's events, so the second should focus on modern influence (not Greek culture, as the prompt is about today’s culture). Credible sources for academic research are encyclopedias (blogs are less credible for academic work). So the correct option is the one with the question about modern examples of Pandora’s influence and using an encyclopedia.

Answer:

Dana should ask, "What are some modern examples of Pandora’s influence?" using an encyclopedia entry for research.
