What can be inferred about the Cyclops in this excerpt from Homer’s Odyssey? The land of Cyclops first, a savage kind, Nor tamed

by manners, nor by laws confined: Untaught to plant, to turn the glebe, and sow, They all their products to free nature owe: The soil, untill'd, a ready harvest yields, With wheat and barley wave the golden fields; Spontaneous wines from weighty clusters pour, And Jove descends in each prolific shower, By these no statues and no rights are known, No council held, no monarch fills the throne; But high on hills, or airy cliffs, they dwell, Or deep in caves whose entrance leads to hell. Each rules his race, his neighbour not his care, Heedless of others, to his own severe.
a. The Cyclops is warm and hospitable toward his guests.
b. The Cyclops cares for his neighbors’ well-being and advice.
c. The Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world.
d. The Cyclops can survive only in the deep, dark caves on the island.

The correct answer is C - the Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world. It says here that they have no ruler, that they are very crude and savage, uncivilized.

<span>The answer comes easy in the first couple of lines that are in the excerpt…

“The land of Cyclops first, a savage kind,
Nor tamed by manners, nor by laws confined:
Untaught to plant, to turn the glebe, and sow, [...]”

The words ‘savage,’ ‘nor tamed by manners,’ and ‘nor by laws confined’ all clearly prove that he does not follow rules or laws, and he is not civilized.

This proves that the correct answer is c )  The Cyclops does not follow typical rules of the civilized human world.</span><span>

1. How does this poem fit the ballad form? Cite evidence from the text to support your response. 
3241004551 [841]

1. A ballad is a style of verse - usually a musical narrative. The poem "Because I could not stop for Death," by Emily Dickinson, fits into this category due to the combination of iambic meter lines of three and four feet or stressed syllables, which create a hymn-like poem. For example:

Because I could not stop for Death (4 sylables)

He kindly stopped for me (3 syllables)

The Carriage held but just Ourselves (4 syllables)

And Immortality.  (3 syllables)

2. The speaker has a flirting relationship with the character Death, which takes the shape of a courteous admirer. She feels very comfortable with him, although she is undressed, since the date with Death took her by surprise that morning.

Identify the sentence that has correct​ subject-verb agreement.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
The correct answer is <span>c. Everything seems like a struggle when you are suffering from depression.
The word everything is considered to be third person singular, which means that the verb has to end in -s in the present simple form. This is why D is incorrect. A is incorrect because somebody is also considered to be third person singular, which means that the verb next to it should be 'seems.' B is incorrect because many is plural, which means that the verb cannot have the suffix -s, but rather be just 'suffer.'
