Must be TrueDiff: Medium
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Epic poems teach people how to live by showing them heroes to copy, rather than just telling them what to do. By following these examples, people find a sense of purpose in their lives.
Reasoning: N/A
Analysis: In a 'Must be True' scenario, we are looking for a logical deduction that can be made using only the provided facts. The professor establishes a chain: epic poetry transmits values through heroic role models, and imitating these models provides meaning to the audience. Therefore, if an epic poem is fulfilling its primary function, it must be presenting these role models to the listeners. Look for an answer that stays within this closed loop of values, heroes, and imitation.
