Answer:
In antiquity, systems of measurement were defined locally: the different units might be defined independently according to the length of a king's thumb or the size of his foot, the length of stride, the length of arm, or maybe the weight of water in a keg of specific size, perhaps itself defined in hands and knuckles.

Explanation:
The name of a work is cited in a parenthetical citation when the author is unknown. For a shorter work such as a poem or the title of an article, the name of the work should be between quotation marks. If it's a longer work such as the title of a book, it should be in italics. This is according to the most recent edition of the MLA style guidelines. If you can only choose one answer, then this question is flawed and should be reported as such.

Explanation:
In medias res, the opening line of the Iliad means in the middle of action. So it starts off chaotic and complex, a war scene on the battlefield. Doesn't really give any info as to why the action is taking place, but the reader is right there in it.
In “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” on the third day that Sir Gawain is at the Lord Bertilak’s castle, Lady Bertilak gives him a silk girdle. Lady Bertilak urges him to keep it with him as it has the ability to protect an honest person from death. Being terrified of his meeting with the Green Knight, Sue Gawain gladly takes it. However, Sir Gawain had promised to give Lord Bertilak anything he was given back to him before he left. This means that Sir Gawain, in not giving the girdle back, is no longer an honest man. In addition to this the girdle is green, this is foreshadowing the fact that the girdle belongs to the Green Knight. The Green Knight, who had not died when Sir Gawain decapitated him in their first encounter, likely did so because he was wearing the girdle. This shows that the Green Knight is an honest man, contrasting him with Sir Gawain who fails to be honest in taking the girdle.
Answer:
"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is one of the most famous and best-loved poems written in the English language. It was composed by Romantic poet William Wordsworth around 1804, though he subsequently revised it—the final and most familiar version of the poem was published in 1815. The poem is based on one of Wordsworth's own walks in the countryside of England's Lake District. During this walk, he and his sister encountered a long strip of daffodils. In the poem, these daffodils have a long-lasting effect on the speaker, firstly in the immediate impression they make and secondly in the way that the image of them comes back to the speaker's mind later on. "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is a quintessentially Romantic poem, bringing together key ideas about imagination, humanity and the natural world.
