Question

Read this summary of a myth.

An evil warrior wants to take over a village, and he has a plan to make the villagers abandon their homes so that his army can take it without a struggle. He passes through the village disguised as a wealthy traveler, and he tells the villagers that he has found gold in the mountains a few miles away. He persuades them all to go to the mountains to look for gold. When all the villagers leave, the evil warrior brings his army to the village and they occupy all the homes – except for one.

One girl suspects that the wealthy traveler is lying to the villagers. She decides not to leave her home to look for gold, because she does not believe there is any gold, and even if there is, protecting her home is more important to her. She also convinces her mother and brother to stay with her. When the invaders come to take over the village, the girl, who has beyond-human strength, sends her brother to warn the other villagers and to bring help while she and her mother defend their home. The girl’s brother returns with an army that defeats the evil warrior’s army and takes back the village.

Based on the details in the summary, what does the hero of the myth suggest about the culture in which it was created?

The culture values moving from place to place.
The culture values not following the crowd.
The culture values money more than anything else.
The culture values taking land from other people

Answer 1

The best answer here would be, "the culture values money more than anything else".

this is shown through the statement, "he persuades them all to go to the mountains to look for gold". the people of the village left their own homes simply for the promise of gold and riches, instead of staying and taking pride in their home town.
