Part III. Reading Comprehension: Read the following passage and choose the most appropriate answer for each question.

(20%)

The art of storytelling is as ancient as human civilization itself. Long before writing was invented, people passed down knowledge, culture, and values through oral narratives. Today, while the medium has changed dramatically — from spoken word to printed books, film, and digital platforms — the fundamental purpose of storytelling remains: to make sense of the world and connect people to one another.

Stories serve as powerful tools for empathy. When readers or viewers become absorbed in a character's experience, they temporarily inhabit a perspective outside their own. Research in cognitive psychology suggests that regular engagement with fiction can sharpen one's ability to understand the emotions and motivations of others. This is sometimes called the 'theory of mind' effect.



Moreover, stories are essential vehicles for cultural memory. Myths, legends, and folk tales encode the fears, aspirations, and moral codes of a society. When a culture loses its storytelling traditions, it risks losing a piece of its identity. This is why linguists and anthropologists often race against time to document the oral literatures of disappearing languages and communities.

Despite its ancient roots, storytelling continues to evolve. Interactive narratives and video games now allow audiences to become active participants in a story, influencing its direction and outcome. Yet even in these new formats, the same ancient ingredients — conflict, character, consequence — remain at the heart of every compelling tale.1. What is the main idea of the passage?
