Final answer:

In a prewriting web about 'days of the week named after Norse gods,' the correct circles branching off would include Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, reflecting their Norse deity counterparts.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to create a prewriting web and in the center circle write "days of the week named after Norse gods," you would put in the circles branching off from the main circle:

  1. Tuesday - named after Tiu or Tyr, the Norse god of war, akin to Mars in Roman mythology.
  2. Wednesday - named after Woden or Odin, the chief Norse god, equivalent to Mercury in Roman mythology.
  3. Thursday - named after Thor, the Norse god of thunder, corresponding to Jupiter or Jove in Roman mythology.
  4. Friday - named after Freya or Frigg, the Norse goddess of love, akin to Venus in Roman mythology.

Therefore, the correct circles branching off would be labeled with option (2) Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
