The sentence from the passage which is the best example of the feature found in a myth is "Near the beginning of life on Earth, Shen Nong, who was the Lord of the Wind, made many journeys over our world."
Myth refers to the traditional stories which include supernatural beings or events, concerned with the history of the people or explaining the social or natural phenomenon. For Example folk tales, fable, lore and so on.
Therefore, the above instance suggests that in <em>"Near the beginning of life on Earth"</em>, where no co- life existed with Shen Nong, he is considered to be the existence on earth.

In order to discover the theme of a magical realist story, the reader can analyze the recurring topics/issues characters talk about/struggle with.
An example of it can be found in Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera", which is a work of magical realism. The main character experiences unrequited love and never gives up. Throughout the whole book, the poor man keeps hoping his beloved one will some day give in to his advances. We can say the theme of this magical realist story is the invincible power of true love.
Another work by García Márquez (his most famous one), "100 years of Solitude", revolves around the Buendías, a family who lives in the fictional municipality of Macondo. It is another work of pure magical realism, since there is the rain that lasts for many years and also the woman who lives to be much more than 100 (really much more). It shows successive generations of the same family and also how certain characteristics can be inherited. The theme here is that of the relevance of kinship.
The correct answer is Both Antigone and Boadicea are heroines who choose their values over their lives, knowing they may die in the process.
Antigone was shocked due to Creon's decision, he decreed that none of those who had attacked Thebes will be buried. Since Antigone's brother Polyneices was killed during the war in Thebes burying him will mean disobedience towards Creon and result in Antigone's dead.
As for Boadicea, she wants to fight against the Romans, who are taking freedom and wealth away from her people. She is well aware her and her people are a minority however she still wants to stand against them despite the fact of knowing that they might get killed in the process.
Both characters are willing to fight for they beliefs, theirs values and their loved ones not caring whether they die. Because dying will mean that they at least tried.
