20 questions
Question 1: The garden of Persephone was filled with a vibrant array of traditional flowers, which provided light to the area.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state, 'Precious jewels made up for the lack of flowers' and that 'weird luminous plants grew without sunlight', indicating that traditional flowers were absent and not the source of light.
Question 2: According to the study materials, what consequence would eating a pomegranate from Persephone's garden in the Underworld have for Percy and his companions?
A. They would be poisoned and instantly perish.
B. They would lose their memories of the outside world.
C. They would be unable to leave the Underworld.
D. They would transform into one of Hades's garden statues.
Explanation: The text states, 'One bite of Underworld food, and we would never be able to leave.' Percy specifically pulls Grover away from a pomegranate, remembering this consequence from the story of Persephone.
Question 3: Cerberus was described as a large black mastiff.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The narrator states, "I’d always imagined Cerberus as a big black mastiff. But he was obviously a purebred Rottweiler".
Question 4: According to the passage, which of the following accurately describe the River Styx?
A. It is a dark, oily river.
B. Its waters are clear and pristine due to Charon’s careful maintenance.
C. It is polluted with items representing human hopes, dreams, and wishes that never came true.
D. Mist curled off its filthy water.
Explanation: The passage describes the River Styx as a 'dark, oily river' and states that 'Mist curled off the filthy water'. Charon explicitly says it is 'Polluted' and explains that 'For thousands of years, you humans have been throwing in everything as you come across—hopes, dreams, wishes that never came true.' Option 1, 3, and 4 are directly supported by the text. Option 2 is incorrect as the river is described as 'filthy' and 'polluted', not clear and pristine.
Question 5: The protagonist utilized the ocean's tide to create a wave that struck Ares, disorienting him during their combat.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The protagonist held back the tide by force of will and then released it, jumping over Ares on a wave. A six-foot wall of water smashed Ares in the face, leaving him cursing and sputtering, which disoriented him and allowed the protagonist to land a blow.
