Question

how does the metaphor comparing asterion to a star in paragraphs 28 - 2 contribute to the feeling of awe in passage 2? select two options.
□ by implying that asterion will challenge the gods
□ emphasizing that asterion will face his future alone
□ by hinting that asterion will have wisdom beyond his years
□ by suggesting that asterion will make the family legendary
□ by highlighting that asterion will have terrible power over others

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the metaphor of a star (which often symbolizes uniqueness, greatness, or legacy) and the feeling of awe:

1. Option 1 ("by implying that Asterion will challenge the gods"): Stars don’t typically symbolize challenging gods, so this is incorrect.
2. Option 2 ("by emphasizing that Asterion will face his future alone"): A star metaphor doesn’t directly relate to facing the future alone; awe comes from grandness, not solitude. Incorrect.
3. Option 3 ("by hinting that Asterion will have wisdom beyond his years"): Stars can symbolize wisdom/guidance, but awe from wisdom alone is less likely than legacy or greatness. Less strong.
4. Option 4 ("by suggesting that Asterion will make the family legendary"): Stars are associated with fame, legacy, or immortality (like a "star" in history). This creates awe by implying the family will be remembered grandly. Correct.
5. Option 5 ("by highlighting that Asterion will have terrible power over others"): Stars can symbolize power (e.g., a guiding or dominant force), and "terrible power" (in a formidable, awe - inspiring way) fits. Correct.

Answer:

D. by suggesting that Asterion will make the family legendary
E. by highlighting that Asterion will have terrible power over others

(Note: Option labels may vary; adjust based on actual question’s numbering. If the options were lettered as, say, A - E, the correct ones are the two matching the explanations above.)
