Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the C) It suggests the narrator traveled without thinking of the time.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in these introductory lines from "The Fall of the House of Usher," which Poe first published in 1839, it is possible to infer that the narrator had been traveling for a while ("during a whole day") and, suddenly, he found himself near his destination, his friend's house. There are no indications of him being lost or angry, so options B and D can be discarded. In addition, the syntax does not suggest a magical component, since he uses adjectives such as "dull," "soundless," and "dreary" to describe his journey and what he encountered along it, and those words do not suggest a magical setting.

Here’s your answer :-
Q1- In addition to her role as an agricultural goddess, Demeter was often worshiped more generally as a goddess of the earth
Q2- Demophon, in Greek mythology, the son of Celeus, king of Eleusis. According to the Homeric hymn to Demeter, the goddess Demeter, wandering in search of her daughter Persephone, became Demophon’s nurse. As an act of kindness to those who had sheltered her, she attempted to immortalize him by burning out his mortal parts but was surprised in the act by his mother, who thought that she was harming the boy. Incensed, Demeter quickly withdrew the child from the fire, thus leaving him susceptible to death. In another version, related by the mythographer Apollodorus, the surprise resulted in Demophon’s death in the flames. Shortly thereafter Demeter departed from Eleusis. A different Demophon, a son of Theseus, took part with his brother Acamas in the siege of Troy.

Q3- Zeus finally intervened because he noticed that Demeter was not granting a fertile harvest so he wanted the people to get their harvest so he made the plan to allow Persephone to let her see her mother sometimes. Many myths offer a story that explains why things in nature are as they are.
Zeus resolved the conflict between Apollo and Hercules over the tripod from Delphi

What is the main purpose of "Eileen Collins – NASA's First Female Shuttle Commander to Lead Next Shuttle Mission"?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The main purpose is to:

highlight for readers the hardships that Eileen Collins overcame

Explanation:

"Eileen Collins – NASA's First Female Shuttle Commander to Lead Next Shuttle Mission" is a text that bases itself not on the facts of the mission or the the journey of the protagonist once she becomes the shuttle commander.

The story instead focuses on how she overcame bias and odds to become what she has become.

It is a story of her struggles and trials and tribulations that have brought her this far in life.
