4. Which statement best explains why "Athena and Poseidon's
Contest for Athens" is an example of a founding myth?
-A It tells a story about how Athens was named and acquired
olive trees.
-B It tells a story in which the gods created the city of Athens
from nothing.
-C It tells a story about how the gods tricked humans into
worshiping them.
-D It tells a story about how the gods chose the land that would
eventually become Athens.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer should be A.

Explanation:

The answer should be A because the myth does not provide any information regarding the gods choosing a piece of land, does not tell the readers how the gods created the city of Athens from nothing, and did not include anything about them tricking humans to worship the land. Instead, it tells a story as to why/how Athens was named (as already said in the myth, Athens was already built before being named) and how it acquired olive trees.
