Which of the following is NOT something that the hero
necessarily encounters on their journey?
A potential failure
B
new friends
Cdifficult obstacles
D
romantic love

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

I hope this helps!

A hero may not necessarily encounter romantic love on their journey.

The stages of a hero, titled "The Hero’s Journey" is a set of observations made by Joseph Campbell where he lists the different stages or parts of a hero's life or journey. The list also made it easier for the readers to navigate and understand the hero and their journey.

In his observation, Campbell starts the list with the hero's separation from his family and friends and embarking on a call to adventure. This call would then take him to further courses, while also encountering allies, enemies, and even close friends.Also, the hero would encounter obstacles that will test his courage, bravery and strength. But while going through his journey, meeting a potential romantic love is not something that a hero necessarily encounters.

A hero's journey need not necessarily include a romantic love interest. But what it includes is the call to adventure and the numerous encounters either with allies or enemies. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Answers

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

What is the purpose of the underlined part of the sentence? Everyone who had seen the performance agreed that the actors had done a terrific job.  

It is a noun phrase that means the same as everyone.  

It is a noun clause acting as the object of agreed.  

It is an adverbial phrase modifying agreed.  

It is a relative clause modifying everyone.

Answer:

It is a noun phrase that means the same as everyone.  

Explanation:

The underline phrase represents a noun phrase, where it presents itself as a nucleus of the subject "everyone", assuming its meaning and expanding its meaning. In a simplified way, we can say that a noun phrase is the word in a sentence that performs the same grammatical function as the noun, which in the case of the sentence above is also the subject of the sentence, allowing "everyone" and "who had seem" to present the same meaning.
