The correct answer is B. Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

Explanation:

The word "paraphrasing" refers to the act of writing the main ideas of a text by using one's own words. This means when you paraphrase you preserve the main ideas of a text but changed the language to express them. In the excerpt from "The Odyssey" presented the main character Odysseus is describing his home by telling the reader details about the landscape in which his home is "peaked sea-mark of Ithaca" and "coastal sea" that is surrounded by  other islands "Dulichium, Same, wooded Zacynthus" and that despite the rocky landscape he considers it is a good place, he really appreciates "I shall not see on earth a place more dear".

When paraphrasing this excerpt all the main ideas or details previously described should be preserved but expressed using simpler language, in the student's paraphrase excerpt the details of location, geographical features and Odysseus opinion of this place as great to grow up are preserved, however the last line idea "I shall not see on earth a place more dear" which is about the way Odysseus loves this place is not mentioned. Because of this for strengthening the students' paraphrasing, it is necessary to add an idea that expresses this part of the excerpt or "Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart" as in this way all the main details will be preserved and expressed in simpler language which is the main purpose of paraphrase.

What are the obstacles standing in the way of a beautiful, dreamy love affair between Daisy and Jay?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Daisy married Tom for his status and wealth and is not willing to leave the old money society for Jay Gatsby.

Explanation:

Although Daisy is and was in love with Jay Gatsby for a long time, she married Tom for financial reasons and prestige.<u> She is also staying married to him mostly for financial reasons.</u> Therefore, she can’t get into a real relationship with Gatsby.

<u>Daisy has decided to marry Tom while Jay was in the war as she wanted a husband that comes from the same class of the old money as she does.</u> Yet, when Jay Gatsby does get the money to win Daisy back, it is from his ties with gangsters that gave him a <u>bad reputation</u> and started rumors about him not having clean motives.

Finally, Daisy is obviously not willing to leave her lifestyle, old money society, and reputation for Jay Gatsby. It is clear he is in love with her more than he is in love with him, and that he would sacrifice it all for their relationship. On the other hand, Daisy is too fond of her life to lose it over the man she loves.
