Accepted Answer

Задание B: Традиции и число 13

Заполнение таблицы согласно тексту:

	L	U	N
Ancient Egyptians		U
Christians		U
Norse gods		U

Пояснение:

Древние Египтяне считали 13-ю стадию жизни смертью, что можно рассматривать как нейтральное или даже позитивное событие (загробная жизнь), но в контексте страха перед числом 13, эта связь с 'концом' делает его скорее невезучим.
Христиане ассоциируют число 13 с предательством Иуды, что делает его несчастливым.
Скандинавская мифология описывает убийство Бальдра, и Локи, бог зла, является 13-м богом, приглашенным на пир, что также связывает число с несчастьем.

Задание C: Соответствие выражений
