    1. C. Atwood alludes to the structure of the Bible, including the use of verses. This develops the motif of religion in the text.

    2. A. While there is an element of irony, the device Atwood mainly uses in this passage is personification, as the money develops human characteristics.

    3. D. A parable teaches a moral lesson through telling a story. Atwood’s story is intended to warn people what may happen to the planet if they do not find a way to reject the cult of greed.

    4. D. Each section parallels what came before it. For example, the creation of money in paragraph 3 echoes the creation of the gods in paragraph 1.
