The prophecy foretold that Polyphemus would be defeated by a man called Odysseus, so obviously he was expecting someone huge and strong to fight with him. However, when Odysseus defeated the cyclops using his brains only, he was really surprised because he overestimated his power. "Brawn versus brain" refers to Polyphemus fighting Odysseus - the latter man used his wits to trick the huge, strong monster and thus defeated him.

1 Duke Ellington was one of the founding fathers of jazz music. He was born in Washington D.C. and loved music from an early age
sineoko [7]

Both passages use chronological order and  passage 1 mainly presents facts, while passage 2 uses more description are the two statements that best describe the text structures of both passages.

You can see how both texts have a chronological order because both have dates or mention times in the people's lives which are mentioned following the order in which they occurred. In the first text, for example, there are many time references like "when he was four years old...", "at the age of seven..." and "at the age of 15..." which follow a chronological order. In the second passage, phrases like "November 6, 1854", "at the age of 13'...', "by 1880..." exemplify how chronollogical order is followed.

In the first passage there are many more facts mentioned. For example, the time Duke Ellington was born, when he started listening to music, when he started playing the piano, when he started working at a soda fountain, his salary after his first gig, when he formed a band, etc. In the second passage, on the other hand, more descriptions are used. For example, it describes Sousa as a "determined, industrious and optimistic" boy. It then describes how famous he was by 1880 and then mentions several personality traits to describe him as talented, tolerant and approachable.

What did the three Greek tragedians (Sophocles, Aeschylus, Euripides) base their plays on?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Greek tragedy is a form of theatre from Ancient Greece and Anatolia. It reached its most significant form in Athens in the 5th century BC, the works of which are sometimes called Attic tragedy.

Greek tragedy is widely believed to be an extension of the ancient rites carried out in honor of Dionysus, and it heavily influenced the theatre of Ancient Rome and the Renaissance. Tragic plots were most often based upon myths from the oral traditions of archaic epics. In tragic theatre, however, these narratives were presented by actors. The most acclaimed Greek tragedians are Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. These tragedians often explored many themes around human nature, mainly as a way of connecting with the audience but also as way of bringing the audience into the play.
