Answer:

Epic simile is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The question refers to this excerpt:

"Then thus the king: “Shall I my prize resign

With tame content, and thou possess'd of thine?

Great as thou art, and like a god in fight,

Think not to rob me of a soldier's right.

At thy demand shall I restore the maid?

First let the just equivalent be paid;

Such as a king might ask; and let it be

A treasure worthy her, and worthy me."

The Iliad is an epic poem by Ancient Greek poet Homer and it is about the Battle of Troy. A simile is a rhetorical device used to explicitly compare two things; words like as or like are used to indicate this comparison. In the excerpt, the writer used this device in the third line, Great as thou art, and like a god in fight, so it is the correct answer.

sasho [114]

The answer is most likely C, can a robot dominated government run a human society. The assumption here is that robots already have dominated human kind. Because of their machine intelligence, they don't feel like humans do and therefore persecute those who are against the government. This shows a dystopian universe.

Answer:

Old yeller used to steal food around the settlement.

Fred Gipson's novel "Old Yeller" revolves around the story of a yellow dog and how he began to become a part of the Coates family. The story focuses on the dog and his acceptance into the Coates family till his death.

Old Yeller used to steal food and meat from around the settlement.

Moreover, we also find instances of Old Yeller sleeping with Travis in the bedroom so that he will not be able to steal food at night while everyone's asleep.
