Read the excerpt from "perseus and the quest for medusa's head." one day, the king called all the noble young men of his country together and told them that he was soon to marry a queen from beyond the sea. he asked each of them to bring him a present to be given to the bride’s father, for in those times it was the custom that when any man was to be married, he must offer costly gifts to the father of the bride. “what kind of presents do you want? ” said the young men. “horses,” answered the king, for he knew that perseus himself had no horses to give. perseus was vexed by the king’s request, which he knew was meant to shame him. impulsively he cried out, “horses—is that all you ask? why don’t you ask for something worth having? why don’t you ask for medusa’s head? ” upon hearing this, the king smiled triumphantly. “then medusa’s head it shall be! ” he said. "these young men may give me horses, but you, perseus, must bring me the head of medusa." which detail from the text best supports the inference that perseus is being reckless by trying to impress the king? "upon hearing this, the king smiled triumphantly. 'then medusa’s head it shall be! ' he said." "'why don’t you ask for something worth having? why don’t you ask for medusa’s head? '” "perseus was vexed by the king’s request, which he knew was meant to shame him." “'horses,' answered the king, for he knew that perseus himself had no horses to give."
