A. In the beginning of the storyExplanation
The main ideas of a story are usually introduced in the beginning of the story. This is where the author sets the stage, establishes the characters, and presents the initial conflict or problem. By doing so, the author provides the reader with a clear understanding of what the story will be about and what to expect. As the story progresses, these main ideas are further developed and expanded upon, but they are typically introduced in the beginning to grab the reader's attention and set the tone for the rest of the narrative.Rate this question:

A. FalseExplanation
A myth is a traditional story that explains natural phenomena, customs, or beliefs of a society. While myths often contain lessons or moral teachings, it is not accurate to say that every myth teaches a lesson. Some myths may simply serve as entertainment or cultural explanations without a specific moral or lesson attached to them. Therefore, the statement that a myth teaches a lesson is false.Rate this question:
