(20 POINTS!) Who is the speaker in this excerpt from Book 13 of Homer’s Odyssey, and what inference can you make from the tone?

Shall then no more, O sire of gods! be mine The rights and honours of a power divine? Scorn'd e'en by man, and (oh severe disgrace!) By soft Phaeacians, my degenerate race! Against yon destined head in vain I swore, And menaced vengeance, ere he reach'd his shore; To reach his natal shore was thy decree; Mild I obey'd, for who shall war with thee? Behold him landed, careless and asleep, From all the eluded dangers of the deep; Lo where he lies, amidst a shining store Of brass, rich garments, and refulgent ore; And bears triumphant to his native isle A prize more worth than Ilion's noble spoil. The speaker in the excerpt is (Neptune, Jove, Minerva). The tone demonstrates (concern about Ulysses safety in Ithica, hope for the safe return of the Phaeacians, anger at seeing Ulysses reach Ithica safely). The answers are the options in parenthesis.

The speaker in the excerpt is Neptune. Neptune, in Roman mythology (although Greeks sometimes used their names too), is Poseidon in Greek mythology. He is the god of the seas, and he was one of the gods who was against Odysseus and wanted to destroy him - this is why it took Ulysses/Odysseus so long to come back home to Ithaca. The tone demonstrates anger at seeing Ulysses reach Ithaca safely. As I said, he wanted Ulysses dead, which is why he wasn't happy when he finally got home against his will.

svp [43]

The thesis statement is the one regarding the use of the story by O. Henry to show that poverty cannot affect true love becuase it expresses the gist of what O. Henry has wished to convey.  While Jim sells his beautiful pocket watch in order to buy Della a brooch for her beautiful long hair, Della sells her hair so as to be able to afford a chain for Jim's pocket watch. Thus, their material gifts are rendered useless, but still each has proved to the other that they would rather give up their most prized possessions in order to please the other, and by doing so prove their mutual love. This discovery is the true gift that they both receive from the Magi on tht Christmas day.

The _____ form of writing a sentence structure, in which the subject receives the action, can be a good choice for being diploma
lord [1]

Answer:

Passive

Explanation:

The passive form of writing a sentence structure, in which the subject receives the action, can be a good choice for being diplomatic in some contexts.

Definition

Active and passive voices are two forms of writing or describing a sentence. In active voice, the subject comes first and it states the action that is given by the verb in the sentence, whereas in the passive voice, the subject comes after the action of the verb.

Usage

Passive voive is usually used when addressing a public in general, to give a message not to an individual but is equally applicable to all and also acceptable to many.

One other area where passive sentence structure is used when someone has to indicate preference in the person/object that encounters an action than the person performing that action
