Question
1.At this time the island of Britain was called Albion. It was uninhabited except for a few giants. It was, however, most attractive, because of the delightful situation of its various regions, its forests and the great number of its rivers, which teemed with fish; and it filled with Brutus and his comrades with a great desire to live there . . . . With the approval of their leader they divided the land among themselves. They began to cultivate the fields and to build houses, so that in a short time you would have thought that the land had always been inhabited.
A.) This passage suggests that Brutus is a hero because he fights with his men to win the land that they desire and are rewarded with goods, an example of romancing.
B.) This passage uses great detail to emphasize the sheer bounty and beauty of what they have fought hard to win. The moral is that if you work hard you will get what you want, an example of romancing.
C.) This passage shows that conquest can be made to look better than it is, like mere cultivation of the land, an example of romancing.
D.) This passage suggests that history determines our future, an example of romancing.
E.) None of the Above.
