Read the excerpt from "Perseus and the Quest for Medusa's Head." One day, the king called all the noble young men of his country

together and told them that he was soon to marry a queen from beyond the sea. He asked each of them to bring him a present to be given to the bride’s father, for in those times it was the custom that when any man was to be married, he must offer costly gifts to the father of the bride. “What kind of presents do you want?” said the young men. “Horses,” answered the king, for he knew that Perseus himself had no horses to give. Perseus was vexed by the king’s request, which he knew was meant to shame him. Impulsively he cried out, “Horses—is that all you ask? Why don’t you ask for something worth having? Why don’t you ask for Medusa’s head?” Upon hearing this, the king smiled triumphantly. “Then Medusa’s head it shall be!” he said. "These young men may give me horses, but you, Perseus, must bring me the head of Medusa." Which detail from the text best supports the inference that Perseus is being reckless by trying to impress the king? "Upon hearing this, the king smiled triumphantly. 'Then Medusa’s head it shall be!' he said." "'Why don’t you ask for something worth having? Why don’t you ask for Medusa’s head?'” "Perseus was vexed by the king’s request, which he knew was meant to shame him." “'Horses,' answered the king, for he knew that Perseus himself had no horses to give."

Answer:

Explanation:At that point, Danae was childless, and to keep the prophecy from coming true, Acrisius locked her in a tower. However, Zeus had seen Danae and had grown fond of her; so, during the night, he appeared to her in the form of golden rain and impregnated her. She gave birth to a baby, which she named Perseus.

Which scenario is the best example of intrinsic motivation?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

C. Miriam works hard on her French homework because her ancestors were from France.

Explanation:

Intrinsic motivation can be defined as a motivation that arises from one's personal interests, satisfaction or love for that job.

Unlike the extrinsic motivation, here, there are no outside factors, such as money, reward, praise, fame, trade etc.

Answer A. clearly shows that Sarah's motivation is new outfit

Nico's motivation for doing homework is permission to play basketball.

Felix's motivation is getting an extra credit and probably a praise from his teacher.

Miriam's only motivation is her personal interest, there are no conditions or desire for personal gain, only her own satisfaction.

If your principal uses stentorian tone she is <br> loud<br> jaunty<br> prodigious
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

loud

Explanation:

A stentorian tone is an extremely loud tone, although perhaps a more appropriate synonym for the word would be deafening or booming since stentorious implies louder even than loud.

The voice of the principal then would have been thundering, most likely because he/was angry or because the distance obliged him/her to use as much volume as possible.
