C. were based in fact
D. A and C
Answer (2)
A myth is a type of narrative that aims at explaining the creation of the world or other phenomena that occur in it mainly based on the belief and natural elements rather than on facts or scientific explanations. Because of this, myths including those that were created during ancient times tried to explain different events people did not understand through goods, supernatural creatures and other elements that were also linked to activities and behavior. For example, in Ancient times many myths depicted the sun as a god because many ancient cultures did not have astronomical knowledge or instruments to know what the sun was and this also made cultures create dances or rituals dedicated to it. Considering this, it can be concluded Ancient myth often related natural phenomena the society did not understand to everyday behaviors and activities from that culture.
The correct answer is option B, as ancient myths often relate natural phenomena that societies did not understand to their everyday behaviors and activities. Myths serve as cultural reflections, educational tools, and were deeply intertwined with the societies that created them. They helped explain the unknown by connecting it to familiar life experiences.
