Answer:

C)It emphasized the important symbolism of the bow.

Explanation:

Homer goes out of his way to make Penelope's action of going to get the bow something great by itself. It takes more than just going and getting it, which creates a level of expectation about the importance of different features of the bow. It is indeed a very different bow that the suitors could not even string.

(4)Write a story that clearly illustrates the saying: Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.
Igoryamba

Answer:I probably know that chickens come from eggs. A female chicken or hen lays eggs and then they hatch into chicks. Well, not all of them. Some eggs do not have a baby bird.

So, at our farm, a hen produces 15 eggs. If the farmer counts the eggs, she might expect to have 15 chicks once the eggs are hatched. But then five of those eggs do not hatch. Her expectations were not met, so she feels disappointed. She tells her friend how sad she feels. The friend may say to her, “Well, don’t count your chicken before they hatch.

Another way of saying this proverb is: “Don’t count your chickens until they are hatched.”

So, this proverb means you should not depend on something that has yet to happen. It is unwise to make plans based on something that hasn’t happened. Another meaning of this proverb is this: Do not assume to have everything you want until you actually have it in your hands.

Now, let’s talk about the folklore part of our explanation.

“Don’t count your chickens until they are hatched” is a very old saying. Language experts say it appears in different forms and in many different cultures. It is also used in Aesop's Fables, a collection of stories from between 1,300 and 1,400 years ago.

The fable we are talking about is known as “The Milkmaid and Her Pail.” A long time ago, a young woman carried a bucket of milk on her head. As she walked, the milkmaid dreamed of a better life. She wanted to be rich. So, she thought she could sell her milk and then use the money to buy chickens. With chickens she could sell eggs and earn more money!

oksano4ka [1.4K]
<span>The major theme of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is that D. none of the responses.
I believe D is the correct answer because the rest of the options have nothing to do with the poem. The poem is about doing something bad, and then having to live with it, and search for the people who will be willing to listen to your sad story.
