Answer:

  They were poor people who could not sit on one of the three levels of the theatre. By paying one penny they could stand in "the pit" below the stage.

Explanation:

  They were people who visited the Red Lion Theatre, The Rose theatre, or the Globe theatre in the early 17th century.

  Standing in the pit was uncomfortable, and usually, people were packed in tightly. They were known to misbehave and are commonly believed to have thrown food such as fruit or nuts at characters they did not like.

  I hope this answer helps you.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The figurative language means the arrows were quickly shot. It impacts the description of Odysseus because it shows he is a skilled warrior.

Explanation:

Notice how carefully the words were chosen to convey this image: "poured out" and "rain of arrows". Picture that - you must have seen something similar in movies -,  dozens of arrows falling from the sky like rain. For Odysseus to be able to do that, he would have to have great skills. He would have incredible aim as well as speed to cause the impression that arrows are raining down. This is what the author wants to achieve with the use of this figurative language. In a most eloquent and vivid manner, he conveys how skillful Odysseus is.
