Polydectes is able to trick Perseus into battling Medusa because of Perseus’s

English
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]1 year ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer is: excessive pride.

Perseus is tricked by King Polydectes to fight the Medusa in an attempt to get rid of him in order to marry his beautiful mother, Danae. Pretending to have the intention of marrying another woman, Hippodamia, the King requests gifts in the form of horses to be brought to him. Perseus is unable to provide the gift but asks Polydectes to name whatever other gift he wishes so that he can reestablish his honor. The King asks for the head of the Medusa. Since Perseus, having previously boasted of his gifts as a fighter, even claiming to be able to slay the Gorgons (Medusa being the only Mortal Gorgon), accepts the challenge out of an excessive pride. He does slay the Medusa and, when he returns, turn Polydectes into stone by showing him his victory trophy, the head of the Medusa

On the Friday before his sculpture project was due, Jack had still been
xenn [34]

Answer:

The statement which best explains how Jack's motivation leads to a conflict is:

A. Jack's preference for activities other than his sculpture project causes him to disappoint his art teacher.

Explanation:

According to the passage, Jack had a couple of excuses to not do his art work. First, the basketball practices, then the chores. Let's say Jack did not have a choice concerning the practices, after all playing a sport may be a big deal in his student life. He might, for instance, hope for a sports scholarship when he goes to college. However, we cannot say Jack did not have a choice concerning his chores. He could very well have spoken to his parents and told them he had an important art project to work on. It is very likely that they would have allowed him to go work on it instead of do chores. Why didn't he say anything then?

We can assume that Jack would rather do other things than work on the art project. If that weren't the case, he would have tried harder to find the time for it. Now, his teacher is disappointed, and Jack will certainly be in trouble. With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option:

A. Jack's preference for activities other than his sculpture project causes him to disappoint his art teacher.

Why might an author include dialect in a story? check all that apply. to allude to a character’s regional background to describe
zloy xaker [14]
An author includes dialect in a story to:
- <span>to allude to a character’s regional background
- to add to the cultural context of a story’s setting
- to allude to a character’s social background
- to create a more genuine dialogue between characters

"</span><span>to describe what a particular setting looks like" is not included since it mainly talks about the setting of the story which is not directly related to the dialect they will be using.</span>
