Which of the following statements about "apple of discord" is NOT true?
There are many expressions about "apple". For instance, the expression "apple of discord" describes the condition of wild disorder. It comes from ancient mythology. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitting around a table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the gods—Discord was a troublemaker. He threw a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess. It was not an easy decision to make. How could they choose among Juno, Minerva and Venus? Paris was given the task of deciding. He decided to give the golden apple to Venus. Juno and Minerva were very angry and threatened him. Thus, the myth says, began the long Trojan War.
People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great powers of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". Another belief is based on fact. The expression is "one rotten apple spoils the barrel". When an apple begins to go bad, it ruins all the other apples a round it in the container. The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone to act bad.
