Answer to Question 1

Not all myths are harmful. Some are functional because they bring people together and promote social solidarity. For example, if myths give us hope that we can improve marriage and family life, we won't give up at the first sign of problems. In this sense, myths can help us maintain emotional balance during crises. Myths can also free us from guilt or shame. For instance, We fell out of love is a more face-saving explanation for getting a divorce than I made a stupid mistake or I married an alcoholic.

Answer to Question 2

C
