Which statement best explains how the modern novel draws on the traditional story?

It reuses the pattern of a craftsperson whose work guides travelers, connecting past and present. It copies the old story word-for-word into a new setting without changes. It contradicts the original myth by saying the weaver never existed. It borrows only the title but none of the plot or themes.

It reuses the pattern of a craftsperson whose work guides travelers, connecting past and present.
