"The Odyssey", is one of the two really important works by Homer, together with "the Iliad". These two works by this great Greek author, one of the most important in history, have been known as the greatest works, and the most ancient, of literary history and "the Iliad" is known as the oldest written literary work ever, while "the Odyssey" has been known as the second oldest. "Odyssey", believed to have been written somewhere around the 8th century B.C, continues the story of Odysseus, who after the Trojan War, seeks to return home to Ithaca, where he is king, and where his wife Penelope, and son Telemachus, have been awaiting him. On the voyage home, Odysseus, and his son and wife as well, face several adventures that not only lead to the resulting final encounter and its consequences, but also change these three characters and affect others around them. However, probably the one that changes the most throughout both "Iliad" and "Odyssey" is Odysseus himself, who at first recognized himself as a reckless and impulsive man, which caused him to leave his home and family to fight in the Trojan War. After the endless adventures, and obstacles, that this character needs to face in order to reach his goal, returning to his family and home, he comes to find that he also needs to reassert his presence and authority to his wife, Penelope, and he confronts them in a contest of archery, established by Penelope in order to dissuade her suitors. In this particular excerpt, what Odysseus portrays, and that is why at first Penelope has trouble recognizing her husband, is the way that he A: has become more patient and humble in battle. It is not until after a bit later that Penelope and Odysseus finally reunite when she recognizes him.

The structural element that is used in the excerpt by Anaya but not in the excerpt by Nye is logos, as stated in option D and further explained below.

<h3>What is logos?</h3>

Logos, also known as logical appeal or appeal to logic, is a type of rhetorical device. It is the use of logic and reasoning to convince one's audience of something. That means the writer or speaker will provide arguments in a logical order so that he or she can lead the audience to a certain conclusion.

After reading the excerpts, we can see that Anaya uses logos, but Nye does not use that structural element. With that in mind, we can choose option D as the correct answer.

The missing answer choices for this question are the following:

  • pathos
  • anecdote
  • tone
  • logos
