In Book 9 of the Odyssey, Ulysses saves himself and his men by blinding Polyphemus. Which lines reflect the Cyclops's disappoint

ment at being defeated by guile and not by strength?
Oh heavens! oh faith of ancient prophecies!
This, Telemus Eurymedes foretold
(The mighty seer who on these hills grew old;
Skill'd the dark fates of mortals to declare,
And learn'd in all wing'd omens of the air);

Long since he menaced, such was Fate's command;
And named Ulysses as the destined hand.
I deem'd some godlike giant to behold,
Or lofty hero, haughty, brave, and bold;
Not this weak pigmy wretch, of mean design,
Who, not by strength subdued me, but by wine.
But come, accept our gifts, and join to pray
Great Neptune's blessing on the watery way;
For his I am, and I the lineage own;
The immortal father no less boasts the son.

Anika [276]

The statements that correctly contribute to the theme that insistence on physical perfection often leads to emotional harm are;

  • "'Then why did you take me from my mother’s side? You cannot love what shocks you!'"
  • "Aylmer’s somber imagination was not long in rendering the birthmark a frightful object, causing him more trouble and horror than ever Georgiana’s beauty, whether of soul or sense, had given him delight."

The two statements, culled from The Birthmark by Nathaniel Hawthorne, show individuals who are troubled because of insistence on physical features. In the first sentence, the woman Georgina wonders why her husband Aylmer will marry her when the birthmark on her face shocks him. She is deeply angered by this.

In the second sentence, Aylmer is so invested in a birthmark that he feels troubled. These two experiences indicate that an insistence on physical features can cause emotional harm.

In Astrophysicists Chronicles of Pluto what reason does dr tyson give for excluding Pluto from the museum exhibit?
allsm [11]

Dr Tyson excluded Pluto from the American Museum of National History exhibit because it is considered an icy body and not a planet.

Originally, he identified Pluto as a comet from the Kuiper Belt of Comets, since its composition its mostly ice, and stated that if it came near the sun it would evaporate and grow a tail, an uncommon behavior for a planet.

Eventually, in the 1990s, icy bodies were found in the outer solar system, and the similarity between Pluto and them was evident. The conclusion was that both are made of ice, have similar strange orbits, and cross the orbit of other planets.
