Answer 2

Option D provides a concise summary of the Greek myth of Prometheus, covering the key events where Prometheus aids humans, incurs Zeus's wrath, brings back fire, and Pandora releases evils from her box.

Step-by-step explanation:

The story you're referring to is the ancient Greek myth of Prometheus, a Titan known for his wisdom and for helping humankind. The best summary of the key events of this story is captured in option D. Here, Prometheus helped humans trick Zeus by withholding the best portions of a sacrifice. In retribution, Zeus took fire away from humans; however, Prometheus, compassionate towards humanity, restored it by stealing fire from Olympus and bringing it back to them. Angry with Prometheus's defiance, Zeus sought retribution by creating Pandora, who was sent to earth and eventually opened a box releasing all evils into the world, but also left hope within. This encapsulates the defiance of Prometheus, the punishment from Zeus, the gift of fire, and the introduction of hardship to humanity through Pandora's box.
