Answer:
C) ‘The Hero’s Journey establishes the structure of a story that countless stories follow’ this sentence expresses the ‘central idea of the text’.
Explanation:
The ‘Hero’s Journey’ is a narrative technique that traces the structure of a story or novel. It is based on the activities of the protagonist of the story who usually emerges as the hero. The story outlines the growth of a hero from zero. As the hero sets out on his journey he confronts many adventures. These adventures lead to associated sub plots and stories.
All these stories are interlinked through the various stages undergone by the hero. Depending on the style of growth the structure of the novel can be categorised as Picaresque like ‘Tom Jones’, Bildungsroman like ‘Great Expectations’, Kunstlerroman like ‘A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man’.
