<u>Answer:</u>

The King of Calydon contributes to the central conflict in "Atalanta: the Fleet-Footed Huntress" when he encourages Atalanta to sew with the women instead of hunt; this puts Atalanta at odds with the expectations of society. So, the correct answer option is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The central conflict is the gender conflict and behaviour found in "Atalanta: the Fleet-Footed Huntress." It is through the character of the king that the story shows the prejudice men have towards Atalanta or women in general. When he suggests Atalanta to sew with other women instead of hunting reflects the thought of men towards women. Also, the importance of behaving properly is highlighted irrespective of gender. When the king asks Atalanta to sew he not only demeaned her but also showed himself as a person who thinks gender is superior to behaviour.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

C) Anybody rather not chance a search?

Explanation:

From the excerpt, the sentence that adds the most suspense was "Anybody rather not chance a search?".

It's clear that from the excerpt, Ellery is a law enforcement officer or someone that is keen to catch a thief or make a discovery of sorts so the following monologue takes place, "Sorry I can't produce the thief with a flick of my wrist, the way it's done in books, but in real life, detection — like crime — is pretty unexciting stuff. We'll begin with a body search. It's voluntary, by the way. Anybody rather not chance a search? Raise your hand".

From the monologue above, Ellery is trying to solve a crime and he decided to do a body search of the most immediate suspects and the sentence that adds the most suspense was asking if anyone would object to a search. At this point, it is clear that anyone that objects to a search is the prime suspect because you won't object to a search if you don't have something to hide. It is also worthy of note that after asking if anybody objected to a body search, nobody responded.

This can be inferred to mean that everyone was scared not to be the first to object to a body search so as not to be seen as the prime suspect.
