Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is incorrect: Fiske's treatment departs from how Barthes uses myth, but the claim that Barthes's link of myth to a capitalist order is false is itself mistaken.

Statement 1 holds in that the handling of myth diverges from Barthes rather than simply adopting it wholesale.

Statement 2 fails because Barthes genuinely ties myth to a bourgeois, capitalist social order, so branding that connection a falsehood misreads him.

The error in statement 2 lies in its verdict, not its description, since the linkage it reports is exactly what Barthes argued.

Myth for Barthes naturalises the values of the dominant class, presenting the historical as if it were eternal and given.

His book Mythologies exposes how everyday signs carry this hidden ideological, class based meaning.
