PROBLEM: As with most major gods and goddesses in Roman mythology, the literary concept of Venus is mantled in whole-cloth borrowings from the literary Greek mythology of her counterpart, Aphrodite. In some Latin mythology Cupid was the son of Venus and Mars, the god of war. At other times, or in parallel myths and theologies, Venus was understood to be the consort of Vulcan. Virgil, in compliment to _his_ patron Augustus and the gens Julia, embellished an existing connection between Venus, whom Julius Caesar had adopted as his protectress, and Aeneas. <sep>, Pronoun: his <sep>, A: Augustus <sep>, B: Julius Caesar

SOLUTION: Neither

PROBLEM: The league released Owens to satisfy the Pirates owner, and Owens worked in the International League (the renamed Eastern League) in 1913 before returning to the American Association in 1914--1915. American League president Ban Johnson hired him for the 1916 season, one year after the death of umpire Jack Sheridan. After _his_ minor league experiences, the relatively calm environment cultivated by Johnson was a relief, and Owens only had few notable confrontations before retiring due to illness after 22 AL seasons. <sep>, Pronoun: his <sep>, A: Johnson <sep>, B: Owens

SOLUTION:
B
