Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer.

This excerpt proves that Odysseus’s men caused their own problems:

  • By showing their physical weaknesses

<h3>What is the problem here?</h3>

In this passage, we are told about how Odysseus' men kept on feasting and drinking while the fugitives took valiant steps to escape from their hold. Their weakness, in this case, is their love for food and entertainment which the fugitives took advantage of.

This is quite normal in war situations. The enemy takes advantage of the weakness of the opposing side. So, the men in the camp of Odysseus feasted and drank a lot of wine which made them lose their vigilance. Thus, their camp was overtaken.

Tell me which highlighted sentence is independent
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

"Today's medical students owe a debt to Dr. Henry Gray"

Explanation:

An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can stand alone and still be a complete sentence. A complete sentence has a subject and a verb.

In the problem, the independent clause is "Today's medical students owe a debt to Dr. Henry Gray". This is because we can take this section of the sentence out of the original and it can still make sense by itself since it has the subject ("students") and the verb ("owe").

The other part of the sentence is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone: while it does have a verb "is", it does not have a main subject to go with that verb.

Hope this helps!

Why do some of the hens rise up against Napoleon? How does Napoleon react to their insubordination? Cite evidence from the text
abruzzese [7]

This question is about the novella "Animal Farm" by George Orwell.

Answer and Explanation:

Why do some of the hens rise up against Napoleon?

Napoleon determines that they will start selling the hens' eggs. His excuse for doing so is to obtain materials for the construction of the windmill. According to him, all the animals will have to make sacrifices, and that is the hens' sacrifice to make. The hens are not happy about it and decide to rebel. They fly and perch themselves upon the rafters, so that the eggs they lay will fall to the floor and break open.

How does Napoleon react to their insubordination?

To punish them and end their strike, Napoleon ordered the hens' rations to be stopped. He even determines that no animal shall give the hens any food, or else they will be killed as a punishment. The excerpt below is evidence:

<em>When the hens heard this, they raised a terrible outcry. They had been warned earlier that this sacrifice might be necessary, but had not believed that it would really happen. [...] the hens made a determined effort to thwart Napoleon's wishes. Their method was to fly up to the rafters and there lay their eggs, which smashed to pieces on the floor. Napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly. He ordered the hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death. [...] For five days the hens held out, then they capitulated and went back to their nesting boxes. Nine hens had died in the meantime. </em>

Read the passage.
Goshia [24]

Answer:

If you ever fall in love, expect it to hurt, and remember it.

Explanation:

"in the sweet pangs of it remember me" this part is tricky, "sweet pangs" basically meansthat the love thiu will experience will hurt, and thus they will be reminded of their past lover; "of it remember me". If thou shalt ever love = If you ever find new love, in the sweet pangs of it = it will be sweet, but tragic, remember me = you will be reminded of me in the end.
