Literary Analysis: Author’s Voice Read the selection. Then, answer the questions that follow. I’ve come to terms with my dreamin

ess, my absent-mindedness—well, okay, my ditziness! Why do I characterize myself this way? A few examples might make this description very clear. They might include such mild eccentricities as mismatched socks and paint smudges on jeans and in hair. Or I could cite more embarrassing moments, perhaps having to do with personal hygiene or misunderstandings. But why bother with the descriptions; you’ve probably already grasped the idea! Keeping the author’s voice in mind, what is most likely the author’s purpose for writing? 
A: to persuadeB: to entertainC: to explainD: to inform

The best answer would be Letter B - to entertain.

The author merely would like to provide amusement to the readers at his expense. It certainly does not persuade, explain, nor inform anything since it states - <span>But why bother with the descriptions; you’ve probably already grasped the idea!</span> - which could be taken as a witticism.

Ancient Greece was a seagoing culture that made important explorations. Ancient
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

This aspect of ancient Greek culture is symbolized in the passage in the following way:

A. The Sirens appear enchanting, but they are lethal.

Explanation:

Ulysses, the Sirens, and Circe are all characters in the famous epic poem "The Odyssey" by Greek poet Homer. Ulysses, also called Odysseus, takes several years to finally go back home after the Trojan War. During his journey, he runs into monsters, witches, and enchanted creatures.

The Sirens are what we usually call mermaids. They are used in the passage as a symbol to represent the two different aspects of the sea: its beauty and its deadliness. The Sirens at first appear enchanting. They are beautiful and sing a most appealing song. However, they are lethal. Their song seems to hypnotize men and lure them to their death by drowning. The same can be said of the sea. It lures people with its immensity and beauty, but it also kills them.

"Legal evil lives where the brood follows the dam." What do you think this riddle may mean?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

One owns the young offspring if he owns the mother.

Explanation:

The given line represents the doctrine which was created in ancient times. The sentence is, "Legal evil lives where the brood follows the dam."

Here, the word 'dam' means the mother while 'brood' means their off springs.

This doctrine determines the ownership of the animals and cattle such as bull, horses, etc.

It means that if anybody owns the mother that is the 'dam', he also owns the offspring, the 'broods'.

In the year 1842, the US Supreme court also extended this doctrine to humans saying that any slave born to slaves will also be a slave for life even if slavery is banned in that state.
