Question 2

Myths often serve to teach moral lessons (like cultural values) and explain historical/cosmological events (e.g., creation myths). They are not factual accounts, so B is incorrect.

The theme of a myth (or any literary work) is its central idea, exploring concepts like morality, fate, etc. So the statement is true.

Tone is the author’s attitude toward the subject/theme. Characterization is about characters, setting is the time/place. So A is correct.

Answer:

A) to teach moral lessons and explain historical events
