Joel: A myth is a narrative told to convey a community' s traditional wisdom. Myths are not generally told in the modern world because there are no longer bodies of generally accepted truths that can be conveyed in this way. Giselle: Of course there are myths in the modern world. For example, there is the myth of the machine: we see the human body as a machine, to be fixed by mending defective parts. This may not be a narrative, but what medically trained specialist can deny the existence of that myth? Which one of the following most accurately characterizes Giselle's response to Joel's statement?
A: It assumes that Joel is a medically trained specialist.
B: It is based on an unsupported distinction between traditional societies and the modern world.
C: It offers a scientific explanation to a problem of literary theory.
D: It offers a counterexample that calls into question part of Joel's definition of myth.
