Answer:
True. Homer uses irony in Menelaus's speaking with Helen about her history.
Explanation:
In Book 2 of "The Odyssey", Telemachus had arrived at the kingdom of Sparta and was staying with Menelaus. There, during dinner, they converse on the bravery of Odysseus and Menelaus and Helen began telling of stories about their knowledge of him. Helen expresses her praise for Odysseus and said that while she was in Troy as the wife of Paris, she had seen through the disguise of Odysseus but she did not report him to the Trojans as she misses her home and husband. This was responded by Menelaus as being "quite a tale". In this discourse between husband and wife, Homer uses irony and sarcasm.
Indicative Verb Mood expresses and makes factual and authentic statements. For an example, ''A human is a mammal.'' It is true and a fact that a human is a mammal. Note that I leave no benefit of a doubt, but I state it matter of factly.
The Imperative Verb Mood expresses and makes a request and/or demand. Say for instance, ''Hand me that remote.'' Note that the speaker is telling you to do the action expressed, which was handing 'that' remote.
Subjunctive Verb Mood overall expresses doubts, suggestions, hypotheticals, and/or wishes. They normally use words like 'if'. For an example, ''If only I were that smart I'd enter and win that contest.'' Note that the speaker uses 'if'.
A1: Imperative because the person saying this sentence is telling us to look out the window and tell them what we see.
A2: Indicative because it's stating a fact.
A3: Subjunctive because it's making a wishful statement that proclaims *IF* they were us, they'd hike up Bridal Veil Falls.
A4: Again, subjunctive, because it's making a wishful statement. It outright says *if* as well as *wish*.

This question is about "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass"
Answer:
a. Learning to read is as important as freedom
Explanation:
Douglass believed that learning to read and write was as important as freedom, because knowing how to read and write promoted freedom through knowledge. When he was a slave he was forbidden to learn to read and write because one of his masters informed him that it was dangerous to teach a slave this. Douglass soon understood why. he saw that if a slave knew and wrote he would get enough knowledge to understand that his servile condition was unfair and incorrect, he would also learn the guidelines necessary to free himself and his fellowmen from this oppressive system.
