Answer:

The word "strife" means conflict.

Odysseus's glimmer of pride when he loses his temper at the Phaeacian athletic games can be considered as foreshadowing his encounter with Polyphemus.

Explanation:

1. Odysseus and Achilles were on opposing sides of each other at the battle of Troy. So, according to the passage provided in the question, strife will denote the conflict of these two characters.

2. In Book VIII of "The Odyssey", Odysseus was invited to participate in the games that were organised by the King. When he refused, the youths taunt him, goading him to participate. When he did, he boasted about his experience and strength, in comparison to those young youths who were part of the game. This is a foreshadowing of his encounter with Polyphemus, the Cyclops son of Poseidon in Book IX.

Read the following excerpt from an argumentative essay. Answer the question that follows.
GalinKa [24]

The answer is D. The author supplies a rebuttal that quotes more current research. He quotes two sources, an article from 2009 that argues that cell phones cause too many distractions (the counterclaim that he wishes to disprove) and a poll from 2013 that reveals that 67% of high school instructors now encourage students to use phones in the classroom setting. The  second source serves as a counterpoint to the first, since it shows that high school instructors now view phones as a teaching aid instead of a source of distraction.

How does the author develop the idea that it's difficult for her to discuss
Fantom [35]

Answer:

In some ways enslaved African American families very much resembled other families who lived in other times and places and under vastly different circumstances. Some husbands and wives loved each other; some did not get along. Children sometimes abided by parent’s rules; other times they followed their own minds. Most parents loved their children and wanted to protect them. In some critical ways, though, the slavery that marked everything about their lives made these families very different. Belonging to another human being brought unique constrictions, disruptions, frustrations, and pain.

Slavery not only inhibited family formation but made stable, secure family life difficult if not impossible.Enslaved people could not legally marry in any American colony or state. Colonial and state laws considered them property and commodities, not legal persons who could enter into contracts, and marriage was, and is, very much a legal contract. This means that until 1865 when slavery ended in this country, the vast majority of African Americans could not legally marry. In northern states such as New York, Pennsylvania, or Massachusetts, where slavery had ended by 1830, free African Americans could marry, but in the slave states of the South, many enslaved people entered into relationships that they treated like marriage; they considered themselves husbands and wives even though they knew that their unions were not protected by state laws.

A father might have one owner, his "wife" and children another.Some enslaved people lived in nuclear families with a mother, father, and children. In these cases each family member belonged to the same owner. Others lived in near-nuclear families in which the father had a different owner than the mother and children. Both slaves and slaveowners referred to these relationships between men and women as “abroad marriages.” A father might live several miles away on a distant plantation and walk, usually on Wednesday nights and Saturday evenings to see his family as his obligation to provide labor for an owner took precedence over his personal needs.

This use of unpaid labor to produce wealth lay at the heart of slavery in America. Enslaved people usually worked from early in the morning until late at night. Women often returned to work shortly after giving birth, sometimes running from the fields during the day to feed their infants. On large plantations or farms, it was common for children to come under the care of one enslaved woman who was designated to feed and watch over them during the day while their parents worked. By the time most enslaved children reached the age of seven or eight they were also assigned tasks including taking care of owner’s young children, fanning flies from the owner’s table, running errands, taking lunch to owners’ children at school, and eventually, working in the tobacco, cotton, corn, or rice fields along with adults.

Slave quarters.

Mulberry Plantation, South Carolina.

On large plantations, slave cabins and the yards of the slave quarters served as the center of interactions among enslaved family members. Here were spaces primarily occupied by African Americans, somewhat removed from the labor of slavery or the scrutiny of owners, overseers, and patrollers. Many former slaves described their mothers cooking meals in the fireplace and sewing or quilting late into the night. Fathers fished and hunted, sometimes with their sons, to provide food to supplement the rations handed out by owners. Enslaved people held parties and prayer meetings in these cabins or far out in the woods beyond the hearing of whites. In the space of the slave quarters, parents passed on lessons of loyalty; messages about how to treat people; and stories of family genealogy. It was in the quarters that children watched adults create potions for healing, or select plants to produce dye for clothing. It was here too, that adults whispered and cried about their impending sale by owners.

Family separation through sale was a constant threat.Enslaved people lived with the perpetual possibility of separation through the sale of one or more family members. Slaveowners’ wealth lay largely in the people they owned, therefore, they frequently sold and or purchased people as finances warranted. A multitude of scenarios brought about sale. An enslaved person could be sold as part of an estate when his owner died, or because the owner needed to liquidate assets to pay off debts, or because the owner thought the enslave

stellarik [79]

<span>In “Arrangement in Black and White,” the conflict does not seem to ever be resolved, especially because of how the story ends with how the protagonist voices how she looks down on the white actress Katherine Burke because she thinks she doesn’t look as white in person as she does on stage.  The ending reveals she is racist and probably always will be no matter how hard she tries to convince herself (or the host) otherwise.  </span>
