Question

which are features of myths? select four options.
supernatural gods or animals
fantastic settings
humorous elements that entertain the reader
an attempt to explain the origin of the universe
characters found in everyday life
conflicts between worlds, beings, self, or natural elements
everyday events

Explanation:

• supernatural gods or animals: Myths often include deities, demigods, or magical creatures (e.g., Greek myths with Zeus, Norse myths with Thor).
• fantastic settings: Myths take place in otherworldly or magical locations (e.g., Mount Olympus, Asgard).
• an attempt to explain the origin of the universe: Many myths (e.g., creation myths like the Big Bang in scientific terms, or stories like "Pangu" in Chinese mythology) seek to explain cosmic origins.
• conflicts between worlds, beings, self, or natural elements: Myths frequently feature battles (e.g., gods vs. giants, man vs. nature) to explore themes or explain natural phenomena.

The other options (humorous elements, everyday characters, everyday events) do not align with the traditional purpose and style of myths, which focus on grand, symbolic narratives rather than mundane or comedic content.
