    Correct Answer
    A. An original pattern or model that other things are copied after
    Explanation
    An archetype is an original pattern or model that other things are copied after. This means that it serves as a fundamental example or prototype that influences the creation of similar things. Archetypes can be found in various fields such as literature, art, and psychology, where they represent universal symbols or themes that resonate with people across different cultures and time periods. These archetypes provide a foundation for the development of characters, plots, and themes in storytelling and other creative endeavors.

    • B and C are both Archetypes

    Correct Answer
    A. B and C are both Archetypes
    Explanation
    The correct answer is B and C are both Archetypes. An archetype is a typical or recurring character, symbol, or situation that represents universal patterns of human nature.

Both the Hero and the Byronic Hero are commonly found in literature and other forms of storytelling, making them archetypal character types.
