joshua read two transgression myths—myths in which a character violates an important societal rule.

in the first myth, the character who commits this transgression is killed by the gods. in the second myth, the character becomes the father of a cursed race of people.

joshua needs to compare and contrast these two myths. he has written that “transgressors are punished.” which of the following can be said to be true of this observation?

it applies to neither myth.

it applies to both myths.

it applies to the second myth only.

it applies to the first myth only.

The correct answer is B. It applies to both myths

Explanation:

A punishment refers to a negative consequence or penalty that is used in response to a behavior or action that goes against the norms, according to this in both of the myths read by Joshua the observation "transgressors are punished" can be applied, because in the case of the first myth there is a transgression or negative behavior and the punishment or penalty to this is death and in the second myth the transgressor is punished through a curse as he becomes the father of a cursed race. This shows in both cases individuals that broke the laws or norms or become transgressors receive a punishment, although the type of punishment is different in each case.
