The Most interesting question in the whole test…and no one has mentioned it yet:

“…passed/past into/over history, then from there into myth.”

choices:
passed, over
passed, into,
past, over,
past, into

I said into first to make it parallel with the second phrase “into myth” but then realized that something has to sort of pass over history so that it can enter myth. Myth and history seem to be different destinations because history is factual and myth is not. The passage was about how she was really forgot and not very “real” to many people even though she actually did exist – she passed over history. :)

Am I wrong?
