Answer:

B. A female, partly human creature in Greek mythology, known for luring sailors to their destruction through tempting song.

Explanation:

Sirens are known for luring sailors to destruction, and the temptation to ignore the truth, as Paine says, will "transform us into beasts," or lead us to our destruction.

Which of the following could be used to slow the pace of a story?
OleMash [197]
I believe that flashbacks could be used to slow the pace of a story. If you are telling one story, and then decide to introduce a flashback, that would only slow down the story you are already telling.

Write about a time when you successfully kept a News Year's resolution- or write about why you don't make New Year's resolutions
a_sh-v [17]

Why I Don't Make New Year's Resolutions:

The thing about New Year's resolutions is that it's similar to saying "I'll do it tomorrow". Some people say "hopefully next year I lose weight and exercise", see it sounds like a nice goal, but half the time it's just a method to push doing it farther back. It's not supposed to be a deadline that you extend and I get tired of seeing people do that because that means they won't do it here and now.

If you want to get something done, do it now. Not tomorrow, not the day after, and definitely not next year. If you have the time to dream to do this next year, then why can't you do it now? (This applies to the people that truly have time to make these improvements and meet these goals.)

Sorry if this isn't the best, but I hope this helps.
