The idea of archetypes, especially in Literature, first came to be when Carl Jung applied it to the analysis and studying of literary works. Jung believed that there were common denominators in certain stories and that were universal, regardless of time, place and cultural background. He even believed that archetypes represented what he believed was a common way of thinking, ingrained in human beings and that he denominated primal memory. But it was Joseph Campbell who used the idea of archetypes to study mythology and in the book "A Hero with a Thousand Faces", Campbell defined the concept of hero.

There are 12 different archetypes and all of them are a representation of an image, a plot pattern, a specific character and his/her characteristics, an idea, among other things, that are present in stories. One such archetypes is the idea of the Hero as a Warrior. In this archetype, the character, in the case in mention on the question, Odysseus, is believed to be the paragon of this archetype as he is able to overcome, almost in a god-like manner, physical challenges and defeat all enemies. The correct answer then is A.

lyudmila [28]

This question is missing the options. I've found the options online, and they are as follows:

[...] Which statement most accurately explains the structure of this passage?

A. The author builds up to the most important idea in the story, which is that the bean lives.

B. The author uses chronological order to show the history of the bean's experiences.

C. The author uses cause and effect to show that the tailor's repair causes the bean to have a black line.

D. The author uses problem and solution to show how the tailor solves the bean's problem of having exploded.

Answer:

The statement that best explains the structure of the passage is:

C. The author uses cause and effect to show that the tailor's repair causes the bean to have a black line.

Explanation:

We must read the full passage before we can choose the best answer. We might be tempted to choose the option that speaks of chronological order, since the author does use it to build the story in the proper sequence.<u> It is only in the end that we get to see the purpose of the passage. When the author says, "The bean thanked him most prettily, but as the tailor used black thread, all beans since then have a black seam," it is revealed that the passage is actually telling us the cause behind the black spot every bean has. The cause is the black thread used by the tailor to mend a bean that had exploded. The effect is the black spot itself. Therefore, the best option is letter C.</u>

Critical news literacy requires applying the four D's of journalism: doubt, discern, demand and ...
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Detect

Explanation:

To be a journalist, there are four D's on which the journalist bases his thoughts. These four D's also motivate them to act, achieve success and prosper in their field. These four D's are;

1. Doubt: This implies that the journalist is meant to question every piece of information. He does not just accept them hook, line, and sinker, rather, he makes the effort to probe further to get to the root of matters.

2. Discern: This means that they have to think critically to obtain a fair balance. This implies that the journalist reasons objectively on matters, not with his emotions. He also makes the effort to determine which version of a story is more accurate, and then reports that.

3. Demand: This  is the ability of the journalist to request freedom of speech and seamless communication for the citizens, as well as a high quality of service delivery and content in the job they do with fellow colleagues.

4. Detect: This is the journalists 'nose for news'. Because they want to know the truth, they hunt down sources of news to get information from them. They assemble the bits so as to get a clearer picture.
