Read the passage from The Odyssey - Penelope. Ruses serve my turn to draw the time out—first a close-grained web I had the happy

thought to set up weaving on my big loom in the hall. I said, that day: 'Young men—my suitors, now my lord is dead let me finish my weaving before I marry, or else my thread will have been spun in vain. It is a shroud I weave for Lord Laertes when cold Death comes to lay him on his bier. The country wives would hold me in dishonor if he, with all his fortune, lay unshrouded.' I reached their hearts that way, and they agreed. So every day I wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight I unwove it; and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians. Which line from the passage best shows that Penelope is clever?

Answer:

So every day I wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight I unwove it; and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians.

Explanation:

This famous passage from the <em>Odyssey </em>is exemplar in showing how clever —and faithful— Penelope was. Not wanting to remarry, and hoping that Odysseus would eventually return, she came up with this ruse to postpone the moment where she would be forced to choose one of her suitors and marry him. This detail, once Odysseus finally comes back, is decisive in demonstrating to Odysseus that his wife had remained faithful.

Answer:

My corrections are below

Corrections:

When most people are ill with a non-life-threatening condition, he will most often see a General Practitioner. These doctors generally work in the local community in surgeries rather than hospitals, so they are convenient for people to see for a consultation. However, other GPs can work in a very wide range of areas, such as in hospitals, in education, and for insurance

companies. As the name suggests, GPs are doctors that do not have a specialty, such as a brain surgeon or cancer specialist: they are able to diagnose and treat all the possible diseases and problems that one of their patients might have. They can treat and manage most illnesses and perform some minor surgeries in their practice. Then for more serious cases, they will refer the patient to a specialist that works in a hospital. If you are ill and need to see a GP, you will normally need to make an appointment. Sometimes you can just walk into the clinic and see a doctor, but that is not very likely as GPs are normally very busy and all their appointment times are fully booked. Often you have to wait several hours if not at least one of two days before you can get an appointment with a GP. If you are too ill to wait, you have to go to a hospital and visit the accident and emergency department. GPs also make house calls. This is when the GP comes to your house to treat you or see a patient. Most often a GP has to make house calls to see elderly people who cannot get to the surgery easily. They might be ill and need to doctor to give them medicine or it could be that the GP just wants to check on them and make sure that they are ok. if you are ill, the doctor will normally prescribe you some medicine and tell you to go away for a few days before you go back and visit them again if you have not started to get better. The GP will also explain how you can have a better lifestyle that could prevent you from becoming ill in the resting place. They will normally recommend that you stop smoking cigarettes, not drink alcohol, and get exercise. Once you have your prescription you will need to visit a pharmacy to get the medicine the doctor prescribed for you.

Happy learning!
