Answer

The answer is: "This King Midas was fonder of gold than of anything else in the world."

Explanation
Option 1: "This King Midas was fonder of gold than of anything else in the world."

This passage helps to advance the theme that relationships are worth more than gold by highlighting King Midas's excessive love for gold. It sets the stage for the story's moral lesson by showing his initial prioritization of wealth over everything else, including relationships.

Option 2: "It seemed really as bright as the glistening metal which he loved so."

While this passage describes the allure of gold, it does not directly address the theme of relationships being more valuable than gold. It focuses more on the physical appearance and Midas's affection for gold rather than the comparative value of relationships.
