Answer 1

A. The cultural context of two texts can be compared and contrasted by asking questions about the values and customs of the day.

Answer 2

A. The cultural context of two texts can be compared and contrasted by asking questions about the values and customs of the day.

Step-by-step explanation:

B is clearly false. There's nothing useful in ignoring context. C is false because it makes no sense to understand more easily something that you don't know. D is also wrong. Myths travel between many people, carried by travelers of many kinds. Most of them are not imagination, but an exaggeration of what they have seen.

It is obvious that the correct answer is A because comparing and contrasting is a great way of to understand the little things.
