Question

Which characteristic of a legend is detailed in this excerpt?

Read the excerpt from "The Chenoo."
Long ago, during the Moon of Falling Leaves, a woman and her two brothers traveled to the north to set up a hunting camp. Hoping to bring back enough furs and meat for the winter, they went far away from their village, much farther than anyone had gone in a long time.


Answers:

A exaggerated fact

B early period setting

C strength of a hero figure

D fictitious or invented ideas

Answer 1

It's not "strength of a hero figure" or "fictitious or invented ideas" because there was nothing made up and there was no character building. I think it's an exaggerated fact because they exaggerated when this happened and also at the end, but still put fact into it. So that's why I think its a exaggerated fact more than an early period setting example.

Answer 2

B. early period setting

Step-by-step explanation:

"Legends" are narratives that are believed to have taken place in the past or in the old days. The excerpt above starts by saying "Long ago" and this entails that the story happened in the human history. We can conclude that the setting is in the early period because it mentioned about hunting for furs and meat. This was a common activity for humans in the past.

Unlike myths, which focuses on gods and goddesses, legends center on historical heroes. It also follows a particular setting, which means that the story occurred in a specific time and place.
