Answer:

2) To present an interpretation.

The author of the passage is providing an interpretation of the book in this sentence. He is arguing that the novel is affirmative and hopeful, and that it stresses the power of humans to reach for greatness and inspire others. This is never explicitly stated in the novel. Therefore, the argument is based on his subjective views and analysis.

4) He also suffers a painful loss.

This revision is the best one for sentence 4. It gives the reader the same idea as the other options. However, it is written more clearly and in an active voice.

What did Acrisius do to try to keep the prophecy of his death from being fulfilled? He set his daughter and her child adrift at
Yanka [14]

The correct answer is A) He set his daughter and her child adrift at sea in a sealed chest.

What Acrisius did to try to keep the prophecy of his death from being fulfilled was that he set his daughter and her child adrift at sea in a sealed chest.

We are referring to Greek mythology. After consulting the Oracle of Delphi, Acricus was told that one day he will be killed by the son of his daughter Danae. That is why he decided to imprison his daughter in a chamber, but God Zeus impregnates her. The baby was named Perseus. Angered by the situation, Acrius decided to put Danae and the baby in a chest and he threw into the sea. Zeus and Poseidon intervene and save the mother and the child.
