How were Danae and Perseus transported to the sea?

• A. In a glass bottle
• B. In a chest released into the sea
• C. In a boat with oars
• D. On a raft

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is the classic mythic escape of Danae and Perseus by being cast into the sea in a chest. In the story, Acrisius imprisons Danae to avoid a prophecy about his death, then decides to discard them rather than kill them. He places them together in a wooden chest and sets it adrift on the sea. The chest floats until a fisherman finds them, so they survive and begin their adventures. This description specifically matches the idea of a sealed chest released into the sea, not a bottle, a boat with oars, or a raft.
