Answer: A. Both poems suggest a form of life after death that should not be feared.
Explanation:
In the poem<em> 'Song of myself'</em> , from Whitman's collection <em>Leaves of Grass</em>, Whitman describes death as a new beginning, a return to life. In the poem, he states that “…to die is different from what any one supposed, and / luckier.” He suggests that people should not be afraid of death.
In<em> 'Because I Could Not Stop for Death'</em>, Emily Dickinson presents death as a spiritual rebirth. She describes her journey from life to afterlife, accompanied by Death. Death is personified in this poem and is not intimidating at all. He is a very generous guide and makes her journey a rather pleasing experience.
Both the authors support the same idea - that death should not be feared, as it leads to nothing but a life after death.

Answer:
The belief that Zeus and the other gods are supreme over all things and that helping strangers, extending hospitality to the guests was a popular belief in Greek custom which Odysseus is referring to in his speech.
Explanation:
Homer's epic "The Odyssey" is the story of the protagonist Odysseus and his journey back home to Ithaca after the Battle of Troy. The book contains the numerous obstacles and encounters he had during his journey back.
The given excerpt is from Book IX of the epic where Odysseus and his men had stolen food and sheep from the Cyclops Polyphemus. The Greeks believe in the custom of extending hospitality to their guests, even strangers. So, in this speech by Odysseus, he alluded to the <u>issue of hospitality where instead of extending help and service to the strangers</u> who had come to his home, he (Polyphemus) ate them and hurt them. This is the cultural value that is shown in the given excerpt.
