Answer:

B. By invoking their muse

Explanation:

Epic singing originated from the need to show and celebrate an event or personality. These were usually war conflicts and feats of war.

Writers of epics typically star their poems by invoking their muse. In the Iliad, in the beginning, the writer invokes his muse "Sing, Goddess,  Achilles rage". This is an epic invocation.Epic invocation serves as an introduction to upcoming events. The writer invokes one of the nine muses of Greco-Roman mythology.  The poets ask from them usually inspiration, knowledge or some kind of skill.

How does the phrase "gives me pleasure" help contribute to a tone of satisfaction in this excerpt?
Vinvika [58]
This sounds like a multiple choice, but if it isn't I'll just say what I think.

"It gives me pleasure" indicates that he is delighted to announce the news to Congress of the removal of the Native Americans. If we were to take away that section from the passage, it would read something like this:

"The benevolent policy of the Government, steadily pursued for nearly thirty years, in relation to the removal of the Indians beyond the white settlements is approaching to a happy consummation."

Now this sounds cheerful enough, because of the words benevolent (charitable) and happy, but the use of the phrase "gives me pleasure" really sets the tone for the paragraph, and let's you know right away how Jackson is feeling about his announcement.

Why might Shakespeare use thy or thee rather then you in a characters speech what might be the purpose of change in wording
Tatiana [17]
<span>I had this same question and this was the correct answer:
</span><span>Thee, Thou, Thy and Thine (You and Your)
</span>It’s a common myth that Shakespeare never uses the words “you” and “your” – actually, these words are commonplace in his plays. However, he also uses the words “thee / thou” instead of “you” and the word “thy / thine” instead of “your”. Sometimes he uses both “you” and “thy” in the same speech. This is simply because in Tudor England the older generation said “thee” and “thy” to denote a status or reverence for authority. Therefore when addressing a king the older “thou” and “thy” would be used, leaving the newer “you” and “your” for more informal occasions. Soon after Shakespeare’s lifetime, the older form passed away!
