In myths and legends a monster must be defeated if a person is to continue on their journey or keep their life. how does this symbolize the obstacles people face in real life?

When they have to fight these terrible and fearsome creatures, they have to overcome a very prominent fear to reach their reward or goal, like we often do in life.

a myth is something that is told for many years that u go looking for and cant find and a truth is something that u can find in real life and can be story's of for example:

mermaid's and unicorns: u can't find them at all so they can be a myth cause u hear story's about them once u go looking for them u won't find them.

dinassours(can't spell): u hear story's about them at school by ur friends and one day ur dad takes u to a museum and u find fossils of them so u realize they are real and not fake.

i think the answer is d.
