Which of the following choices best describes the language used in the extended simile comparing Odysseus to a musician as he st

rings the bow (lines 142-151, shown below)? "But the man skilled in all ways of contending, satisfied by the great bow's look and heft, like a musician, like a harper, when with quiet hand upon his instrument he draws between his thumb and forefinger a sweet new string upon a peg: so effortlessly Odysseus in one motion strung the bow. Then slid his right hand down the cord and plucked it, so the taut gut vibrating hummed and sang a swallow's note.
A) Harsh and strident
B) Rhythmic and fast
C) Flowing and harmonious
D) Resounding and celebratory

<span>C) Flowing and Harmonious. This is because in the text, Odysseus is said to be graceful and sweet. He does not rush or precipitate to hit. Odysseus was well known for his ability with the bow, not because of his speed or time of reaction, but because of its accuracy and grace while trying to kill.</span>

Complete the statement with the missing appropriate answer or responses
Helga [31]

Answer:

 This answer appears to be incomplete and I couldn't find it online, but it must be completed with a conditional. I will give you an example of how both sentences can be completed and then an explanation so that you can understand it.

Explanation:

1.If I were a teacher, I would teach English.

2.If I could live anywhere, I would live near the beach.

Conditionals are expressions or phrases that we use in our day to day. These serve to express that something happens if something else happens before, this means that one action is subject to and depends on the other.

To start you should know what are the 4 different types of conditionals, these are the following:

  • Zero conditional: We will form this conditional as follows:

                             If clause / Conditional clause - present simple

                             Result clause - present simple

  • First conditional: If clause / Conditional clause - present simple

                                 Result clause - Future simple

  • Second conditional: If clause / Conditional clause - past simple

                                   Result clause - would + verb

  • Third conditional: If clause / Conditional clause - past perfect

                                  Result clause - would have + past participle

Read the sentence below and answer the question. We were waiting outside because it was a nice day, and my sister came to meet u
Doss [256]

Answer:

The sentence above is made up of an independent clause, then a dependent clause, then an independent clause.

Explanation:

The sentence above is a compound-complex sentence. A compound-complex sentence is made up of two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. The difference between an independent clause and a dependent one is that former can stand alone as a sentence because it represents a complete thought.

I) We were waiting outside because it was a nice day, and my sister came to meet us

II) We were waiting outside

III) *Because it was a nice day

IV) And my sister came to meet us

As you can see, II and IV are the independent clauses in the sentence. They can stand alone as complete sentences. On the contrary, III is a dependent clause. It depends on the main clauses to complete its meaning. Otherwise, it is ungrammatical (III).
