Question

another important roman myth was about a trojan man named aeneas (ih-nee-uhs). his story was passed down by storytellers, artists, and writers for hundreds of years. in one version of the myth, aeneas receives a prophecy, or a statement predicting the future, from the head roman god named jupiter. read a summary of this prophecy. then answer the question below. jupiter told aeneas that his descendants, a pair of twins, would one day build a divine, eternal city. this city would be named “rome” after one of the twins. it would become the center of the largest empire the world had ever seen. divine: godlike eternal: lasting forever based on the passage, what did jupiter tell aeneas about rome? rome would be given to aeneas. rome would never become powerful. rome would be destroyed forever. rome would never be destroyed.

Explanation:

The passage states Jupiter told Aeneas his descendants (twins) would build a divine, eternal city (Rome) that would be the largest empire. The option "Rome would be destroyed forever" is incorrect. "Rome would never become powerful" is wrong as it's said to be the largest empire. "Rome would be given to Aeneas" is incorrect (it's his descendants who build it). "Rome would never be destroyed" aligns with "eternal" (lasting forever), so this is the correct interpretation.

Answer:

Rome would never be destroyed.
