Question

Read the passage from Perseus.

"Your child!” Acrisius cried in great anger. "Who is his father?”
But when Danaë answered proudly, "Zeus,” he would not believe her.

In the passage, the dialogue primarily serves to

identify the narrator of the story.
illustrate the feelings of the characters.
describe the actions of the characters.
identify the narrator’s point of view.

Answer 1

Answer: B (illustrate the feelings of the characters)

Answer 2

Illustrate the feelings of the characters.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this passage it is obvious that Acrisius is angry because of the exclamation mark used and because it is written that he "cried on great anger". It also shows that he is in doubt about Danaë's response, because of the words used("he would not believe her"). It also gives us the hint that Acrisius just found out a long hidden secret.
