The Odyssey and Epic Poetry: An Introduction, Part 1 — Cumulative exam
Question 10 • Online ELA 9 - A
Grant receives the writing prompt below.Write an informative essay about the Greek hero, Jason. Summarize his unhappy youth and explain how he overcame obstacles to become great.
Answer
A
Grant should ask,“What was the name of the witch who assisted Jason?” using a book about Greek mythology for research.
B
Grant should ask,“What was the name of the witch who assisted Jason?” using a wiki page on Greek mythology for research.
C
Grant should ask, “How did Jason defeat his challenges and gain success?” using a book about Greek mythology for research.
D
Grant should ask, “How did Jason defeat his challenges and gain success?” using a wiki page on Greek mythology for research.
Explanation
The prompt asks Grant to explain Jason’s unhappy youth and how he overcame obstacles to become great. The question “How did Jason defeat his challenges and gain success?” directly supports both parts of that essay, while asking for the witch’s name is too narrow. A book about Greek mythology is an appropriate research source for learning about Jason’s story.
