One of the themes of "Atalanta, the Fleet-Footed Huntress" is the actions of a person matter more than his or her gender.

Which detail from the story best conveys this theme?

"The men gasped. They had never heard of such a thing as a girl going out with heroes to hunt wild boars."

"The young heroes in the lands nearest to Arcadia did nothing else but talk about her beauty, grace, swiftness, and courage."

“'What is a girl good for?' raged the king. 'She can never do anything but sing and spin.'"

"She leveled her spear, and threw it with all her might. The boar squealed as the sharp point pierced its skin."

I think its last one because its what she did that mattered, not her gender.

I don't know, it could also be B.

Think about which one shows a comparison between genders. That should be your answer.

The detail from the story that best conveys the theme that the actions of a person matter more than his or her gender is: "She leveled her spear, and threw it with all her might. The boar squealed as the sharp point pierced its skin." This detail highlights Atalanta's skill and strength as a hunter, regardless of her gender. It shows that she is capable of doing what was traditionally considered a man's job, which challenges the stereotypes and expectations placed on her because she is a woman.
