The passage given below is followed by four summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the text. While many people believe that myths are stories that are ‘untrue’ or even ‘lies,’ in fact, resonant mythologies are metaphors that provide us with symbols of a life we long to experience. Mythological narratives may or may not be based in fact. Myths that are temporal will cease to inspire over time and will die out. The perennial myths, however, are those which persevere and project a timeless truth which point the way to our ultimate destiny. To pursue this destiny is the hero’s journey. Myths are stories, true or untrue, that help us to drag ourselves out of drudgery and despair to pursue a higher calling and awaken the hero in us.Resonant mythologies represent the eternal truth, and while temporal myths peter out, perennial myths transcend limitations of time, inspiring the hero to pursue the higher truth.Myths begin where human limitations of time and ability end, and perennial myths motivate us to embark on an epical journey to seek salvation in our own way.Resonant mythologies are great inspirational stories that resonate with us in our subconscious, where our identity becomes the hero, who is destined to pursue the truth.
