"Vita, Greek Polytheism is an extinct belief," she said, and laughed. And then she stopped and looked at me strangely. "When

people stopped believing in the gods, they no longer had power. They don't exist anymore. You must have known that."

Answer:

a. A religion.

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know what word is underlined, but I'm assuming it's "polytheism." (This sounds like it's from Virginia Woolf, who I love (no not in a weird way).) Polytheism means worshipping many gods. You can understand this in context by reading what she says next: "When people stopped believing in the gods, they no longer had power." This points you to the understanding that this is a religion.
