Question

Which of the following inferences is best supported by the passage below (paragraph 10)?

In addition to myths, folktales were popular in ancient Greece. Many Greek folktales are attributed to a man named Aesop, though historians
disagree about Aesop's existence. Some claim that Aesop was a real person, while others believe that Aesop was an invented figure. Regardless
of whether Aesop was a real person or only a name invented for folktales, Aesop's fables contain wisdom and folly that have entertained readers
for centuries. Each short tale contains a moral, but some lessons are direct while others must be determined by the audience or reader. Famous
examples of Aesop's fables include "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and "The Lion and the Mouse."
A. Aesop's fables are familiar to many young readers today.
OB. The lessons and stories of Aesop's fables are less relevant in today's world than they used to be.
OC. Historians have been unable to determine if Aesop was a real person because of the lack of historical documents referencing him.
OD. Folktales and myths of ancient Greece are very similar because they both feature animals who can talk and gods who are more powerful than humans.

Answer 1

The best-supported inference from the passage is that Aesop's fables contain wisdom and folly that have entertained readers for centuries, and famous examples of his fables include "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and "The Lion and the Mouse." This is because the paragraph describes Aesop's fables, their content, and their enduring popularity. The other answer choices are either not supported or not relevant to the information provided in the paragraph.
