Jade Kidd · Answer 2

D. He wants to become strong, so he can go on an adventure is the answer.

Explanation:

Theseus is a character from Greek mythology. He grew up in Troezen to become a young man with a lot of skills due to the activities he used to practice everyday, such as running, leaping, throwing, and lifting. He did not know anything about his father, and he had to toss a boulder so his mother could tell him about his father. This was part of a previous arrangement. Due to this, option D is the answer.
