Question

read this excerpt from the myth of hercules.
the last and most dangerous labor that king eurystheus assigned to hercules was capturing cerberus, the three - headed hound. one rule was that hercules could not use any weapons, so he had to rely on his own strength to defeat the vicious beast. hercules accepted the task fearlessly, and when he found cerberus, he wrestled with the beast until he was victorious.
which heroic quality is illustrated in the excerpt?

• seeking vengeance
• showing bravery
• honoring promises
• rescuing people

Explanation:

To determine the heroic quality, analyze the excerpt: Hercules accepts a dangerous task (capturing Cerberus, a vicious three - headed hound) without weapons, relying on his own strength, and faces the beast fearlessly. "Seeking vengeance" is not shown as there's no revenge context. "Honoring promises" isn't indicated (no promise - keeping action here). "Rescuing people" isn't the focus (the task is capturing Cerberus, not rescuing). "Showing bravery" fits as he takes on a dangerous task fearlessly and fights the beast.

Answer:

B. showing bravery
