In Homer’s <em>Odyssey</em>, Telemachus is the son of Odysseus and Penelope. In Book 1, when Odysseus is meant to come home, the goddess Athena disguises herself as Mentes, king of the Taphians, and goes to Ithaca to pay Telemachus a visit. The suitors have been taking advantage of Odysseus’ absence for years, and Telemachus dreams of getting rid of them.

Athena has taken it upon herself to ensure the safe return of Odysseus, and when she sees the situation Telemachus is in, she advises him to get rid of his mother’s suitors and travel to Pylos and Sparta to find information about his father.  

Telemachus’ attitude towards Mentes is respectful. He offers him food and drink, and listens attentively to his advice. Upon hearing the advice of the stranger, Telemachus feels stronger, and the memory of his father becomes more lively. He feels so convinced by it he then advises Penelope to do the same: to keep the memory of her husband alive and gain strength through it, and to remember that it is the will of the Gods which has put Odysseus in that situation.

He learns news of his father from Mentes, but he also regains a sense of right and wrong and a sense of purpose. He recuperates the strength and courage to face the suitors, protect his mother and look for his father.

Athena is pleased with Telemachus because of this recovery but also because of his treatment of her and his respect and trust in the Gods.

The correct answer would be option A, Drive Reduction Theory.

Drive Reduction Theory can be used to explain why Lara is motivated to get a drink.

Explanation:

Drive Reduction Theory was given by Mr. Clark Hull in the year 1943. He was a famous American Psychologist. His Theory of Drive Reduction is considered a motivational Theory. According to the theory, the motivation in a person originates because of the biological needs or drives of the body.

Same like in the given example, Lara was thirsty, and she realized that she has not had anything to drink all morning. She saw her friends drinking large soda glasses and there her desire to drink the large soda bottle originates. So here her biological need of thirst motivates her to buy a soda can for herself. So the theory of Drive Reduction best explains Lara's behavior.

Who is one who lives alone and seeks god through prayer silence and penance?
Darina [25.2K]
The answer is a "Hermit".

A hermit is a man who lives alone and apart from society, for the most part for religious reasons. In Christianity, the term was initially connected to a Christian who carries on with the eremitic life out of a religious conviction, to be specific the Desert Theology of the Old Testament i.e., the 40 years meandering in the desert that was intended to cause a change in heart.
