Question #N49
The story of the Minotaur is a classic Greek myth, but like many stories, it has different versions. In one version, the Minotaur was the son of King Minos and Pasiphae, and the result of a curse inflicted by Poseidon. In another version, the Minotaur was the offspring of a bull that Minos had promised to sacrifice to Poseidon, but then decided to keep for himself. King Minos was then punished by Poseidon when the bull impregnated Pasiphae, leading to the birth of the Minotaur. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the hero Theseus. What is the main idea of the passage?
What is the main idea of the passage?Correct Answer is: B
The passage discusses two different versions of the story of the Minotaur. The first version describes the Minotaur as the offspring of a curse, while the second version describes the Minotaur as the offspring of a bull that Minos was supposed to sacrifice to Poseidon. The passage does not focus on the Minotaur’s defeat, King Minos’s punishment, or the cause of the Minotaur. Therefore, the main idea of the passage is that there are different versions of the story of the Minotaur.
