The correct answer should be
Jove's heavenly daughter stood confess'd to sight;
Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom,
Skill'd in the illustrious labours of the loom

Using like to compare something is a simile, which is why this should be one.

Answer: 1. Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom and 2. But this to me? who, like thyself, excel  In arts of counsel and dissembling well.

Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in the comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, it uses the words "like" or "as" to make the comparison. In the given excerpt from "The Odyssey" by Homer, there are two examples of simile, the first one is in the phrase "Jove's heavenly daughter stood confess'd to sight;  Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom,  Skill'd in the illustrious labours of the loom" it compares Jove's daughter with a fair virgin. And the second one is "But this to me? who, like thyself, excel  In arts of counsel and dissembling well" it compares the abilities of the speaker to the one of another person.

20 POINTS PLEASE HELP!Based on your reading of the following passage, in what ways do the events of 9/11 provide a good example
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Both immediate and longer term industry responses to the security failures related to transportation showed

that various security holes existed between businesses in transportation chains from all modes and that many

transportation businesses were unaware of how other links in their chain handled safety issues, or if they did at all.

The regulation concerns areas that present safety concerns and may cause loss of life.

The inability of players in transportation chains to identify who was handling safety issues and how they were handling them

highlights a need for clarification of duties and roles within the industry.

The

investigation of the 9/11 events have further highlighted widespread and serious security flaws in the transportation

industry, such as the lack of regulation of flight schools and the use of water transportation to ship potentially lethal

items such as explosives. Unfortunately, the various security precautions that have placed a financial burden on

transportation companies change frequently and are often ineffective.

elena55 [62]
The traditional dress of a UAE woman is the abaya. It is important to note that the abaya is not really a dress. Instead it can be more accurately compared to a thin, flowing cloak that covers the body. Underneath, women wear their clothes (and in fact, often choose western-inspired styles, like jeans).
