Read the excerpt from "The Flood" by James Baldwin.
And so they walked on, down the steep slope of Mount
Parnassus, and as they walked they picked up the loose
stones in their way and cast them over their shoulders:
and strange to say, the stones which Deucalion threw
sprang up as full-grown men, strong, and handsome,
and brave; and the stones which Pyrrha threw sprang up
as full-grown women, lovely and fair. When at last they
reached the plain they found themselves at the head of a
noble company of human beings, all eager to serve
them.
So Deucalion became their king, and he set them in
homes, and taught them how to till the ground, and how
to do many useful things; and the land was filled with
people who were happier and far better than those who
had dwelt there before the flood.

Which statement best explains how the two adaptations
differ?

creatures and the creators, while Baldwin emphasizes
only the creators.

creation inhabits, while Nappi's setting is more
specific to one location.

believes that the new people are better, while Nappi
mourns those who died.
Nappi describes a supernatural series of events that
occur in the creation of the new world, while Baldwin
describes the creation as a natural progression.
