Question

Ms. Nichol's class is having a discussion about Greek mythology. One student says, "The influence of the goddess Demeter can be found throughout Greek history and culture. She is the goddess of the harvest as well as the cycle of life."

Which would be an appropriate follow-up question to ask this student?

1. "What role did Demeter play in the lives of the other Greek gods?"
2. "Who were some of Demeter's allies in Greek mythology?"
3. "What are some ways in which the influence of Demeter can be seen in Greek culture?"
4. "Who were Demeter's greatest enemies, according to Greek myths?"

Answer 1

The correct answer is 3.

Answer 2

The correct answer to the question: Which would be an appropriate follow-up question to ask the student, would, of course, be: 3. "What are some ways in which the influence of Demeter can be seen in Greek culture".

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this answer being the correct one springs from the fact that the sudent has just made areally bold statement in class. She assures her teacher and classmates that the influence of the goddess is palpable all over Greek history and its culture. A statement like this, needs to be proven, and it needs to be backed up by knowledge about how this statement can be true. So, in order to establish the veracity of what the student is stating, and whether she did it from actual knowledge, or it is just an opinion, the teacher asks her the follow-up question that appears on choice 3.
