which genre commonly explains the origins of a world or a people?

a. folktale

b. myth

c. legend

d. fiction

The correct answer is: B: Myth.

Myths or Origin Myths are the stories we tell to explain how things came to be, and every culture has them.  These myths try to describe the origin of some feature of the natural or social world. They are merely accounts given to try to explain what has happened before our time.

The other options refer to different stories:

Folktales are meant to give an explanation to things people did not understand, to discipline children or to simply pass the time. Fiction refers to any narrative that is derived from the imagination and Legends are non-historical or unverifiable stories handed down by tradition from generation to generation and popularly accepted as historical.

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.
