Well I'm not 100% sure but Im pretty sure odysseus said that to gloat to the cyclops, <span>'Cyclops, if any one asks you who it was that put your eye out and spoiled your beauty, say it was the valiant warrior Ulysses, son of Laertes, who lives in Ithaca.' (Book IX)</span>

While on the island of the Cyclops, Ulysses decides to stay because he is curious about the people who live there. He hopes to enjoy the hospitality of the island's inhabitants. Ulysses’s decision puts his men in danger when they are confronted by Polyphemus, who traps them in his cave and eats two of the men. Greed and pride drive Ulysses’s choices. Ulysses wants to enjoy the spoils of the island, and he believes that his reputation as a great warrior ensures that the people living on the island will welcome him. While he leads the men out of the cave, he lets his pride endanger the group one more time. While leaving the island, he shouts out his own name to Polyphemus to let him know that he, “Ulysses,” is the one who has blinded him. Now knowing the real identity of his attacker, the Cyclops pleads with his father, Neptune, the god of the seas, to punish Ulysses.


In the story of the Cyclops, Ulysses comes across as a clever leader and a brave hero who saves his men using his intelligence. However, he also shows his mortal failings in his desire for fame and glory, which puts him and his men in trouble at sea.

Rewrite the sentence in passive voice b) The department will conduct a programme on republic day
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A programme will be conducted by the department on Republic Day.

Explanation:

In grammar, the term <em>voice </em>refers to the relationship between the action expressed by the verb and the participants of the described event (the subject and object). In English, there are two types of voice:

  • Active voice - the subject acts upon the verb.
  • Passive voice - the subject is the recipient of the action expressed by the verb.

In order to turn the given sentence into a passive one, we need to make its object the subject. The object is <em>a programme</em>.

The subject is <em>the department</em><em>.</em> In passive voice, the subject becomes the object of the preposition<em> by</em>.

The verb needs to be changed as well. The tense remains the same, but it needs to contain the past participle.

This is how we'll get the following sentence:

  • A programme will be conducted by the department on Republic Day.

The author chose to tell this story from the perspective of children, rather than adults. Is this strategy effective for recount
lbvjy [14]
The author's choice to tell the story from the children's perspectives is effective. The children do not have the same prejudices and concerns that the adults have. As a result, they are open to one another and become friends despite their differences. They provide the reader with unbiased insight into what is happening on the mainland and on Malaga Island.
