Once Victor put his new hook in the water, everything happened so fast. The catfish snapped at the barely visible 10-pound-test

line trailing from the brand-new rod his cousin Eduardo had given him for his 16th birthday. The fish bit down and began to flail in a way Victor had only seen on television fishing shows and in a way only an animal can flail; then Victor gave a hard tug, summoning all the strength his diligent routine of free weights and cardio had produced. As he tugged, he reeled in the line with tremendous speed until there it was, rocking back and forth like a pendulum ticking off the time between victory and defeat: an empty hook. He looked around in every direction, but the clever catfish was nowhere to be found. Which statement best evaluates the author's use of pacing in the passage?
A. The author's use of pacing is not effective, because the long, complex sentences slow down the action.

B. The author's use of pacing is effective, because the interjection of background events creates suspense and anticipation.

C. The author's use of pacing is effective, because the description of the birthday and workout routine help to fill lulls in the action.

D. The author's use of pacing is not effective, because important information — such as Victor's 16th birthday — is skipped over too quickly.

Homer's Odyssey is whatHomer's Odyssey is __. Group of answer choices A Science Fiction narrative A Comedy A Tragedy An Epic Poe
algol13

Homer's Odyssey is D)an epic poem.

The Odyssey is an epic poem in 24 books traditionally attributed to the historical Greek poet Homer. The poem is the story of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, who wanders for 10 years (despite the fact that the movement of the poem covers only the final six weeks) trying to get home after the Trojan warfare.

In assessment, the Odyssey is a comedy of a person who believes in relationships and beliefs really worth residing for. I name it comedian due to the fact, just like the Bible and Shakespearean comedy, it ends in the recuperation of a state, the reuniting of the royal family, and the recovery of deeply held cultural values.
