Answer 1

None of the above options explains the question above

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, Athenian women collaborated to weave a new woolen robe that they used to dress a statue of the goddess Athena and that this robe explains/shows the battle between Zeus, Athena father and giants not cloth they weave to wear at new year.

The options below only states that the young women come together to weave woolen robe to dress which is not what the passage explains.

So therefore, none of the options explains what the passage is talking about.

Answer 2

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A and C makes the same mistake. The use of "woolen robe that they used" makes it seem as though the woolen robe was a tool used to help them dress their goddess so it is wrong.

While Option B addresses the issue with option A using a "with which" instead of "that", however the use of past perfect tense "had collaborated" eliminates both Option B and Option E.

Option D addresses all the problems mentioned in the other options.
