Answer:

The corect answer is D) 12.

Explanation:

In Books 21-22 in Homer's "Odyssey", Odysseus must prove his skills and shoot an arrow through the rings of twelve (12) axes in a row to "win" Penelope's archery contest. This was a ruse Penelope came up with to deter her suitors. She would marry whoever could string Odysseus bow and fire it through the rings of 12 axes. Only Odysseus could do this.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

The effect of this statement is to create a feeling of disgust in the reader in relation to the colonists.

Explanation:

When Ceremony affirms that the colonists are the fruits of witchcraft, he gives the reader a feeling of discomfort about the colonists' existence. Just as witchcraft is something that causes us discomfort because it refers to something portrayed as bad in our culture, Ceremony's statement wishes to emit this same meaning in relation to the colonists.
