Question

which statement best explains how a myths theme can be developed through character actions?
it explores an idea or lesson that applies across cultures and time periods.
the setting of the myth usually stays the same, even if the theme changes.
the dialogue between characters creates suspense, not necessarily a theme.
the myths plot structure always follows a strict sequence of events.
question 2
which sentence best evaluates the reasoning in an argument about banning junk food in schools?
the article ends with a rhetorical question and a joke.
the writer describes their favorite lunch food in detail.
the claim is supported by statistics from a health study, showing strong reasoning.

Explanation:

• For the first question: A myth's theme is often a universal idea or lesson. Character actions can illustrate and develop this theme as they show how the idea plays out. The other options either focus on setting (which is not about character - action - theme development), dialogue (not directly about theme development through character actions), or plot structure (not relevant to theme development via character actions).
• For the second question: When evaluating the reasoning in an argument, we look at how well the claim is supported. Statistics from a health study provide evidence, which is a key part of strong reasoning. The other options focus on elements like the end of an article (rhetorical question and joke) or a writer's description of favorite food (not related to evaluating reasoning).

Answer:

1. It explores an idea or lesson that applies across cultures and time periods.
2. The claim is supported by statistics from a health study, showing strong reasoning.
