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.

Answer:

"And I must pause till it come back to me"

Explanation:

According to Marc Antony's Speech

from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, he speaks to his fellow Romans at Caesar's burial. During the course of his speech, he makes reference to Brutus' words saying that Caesar was ambitious and Mark Anthony rebuffs this by giving different instances where Caesar didn't show ambition, but humility and urges the people to mourn him.

Therefore, the statement that best summarizes Antony's overall claim in this speech is "And I must pause till it come back to me".

This is because his overall claim is that he loves Caesar and his heart is with him and he must pause so that it comes back to him (his heart)

In Rain Myths, which conclusion about the Madagascan people is most justified by "A Madagascan Myth”?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The Madagascans had cultural values based on family.

Explanation:

The answer “The Madagascans had religious beliefs based on the land” is not correct, because while land does play the role in "A Madagascan Myth”, the myth does not tell the story of the land.

<u> The answer “The Madagascans had cultural values based on family.” is correct. </u><u>In the myth, God Ndriananahary creates the Sun to find and </u><u>help his son</u><u> on the earth. Therefore, we can see how much he </u><u>cared for the family</u><u>. Additionally, the myth mentions the </u><u>importance of ancestors and their spirits on earth. For people, dead spirits of the family are important to guide and protect them, Therefore, the family values are important in order to have a good life and happiness, and the love and care for the family can bring great things. </u>

The answer “The Madagascans had religious beliefs based on the sun” is not true. The myth does talk about the creation of the sun, but it does not say the belief system is based upon it.

The answer “The Madagascans had cultural values based on safety.” is not correct. While safety is important in the myth (safety of Ndriananahary’s sons and safety of people protected by ancestors), it is the part of the belief and the need of the people, while cultural and religious values lie in the family values. Therefore, it can be concluded that family is important to have safety, which puts the core of the cultural value in the concept of family.
