Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves, in

Veseljchak [2.6K]

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

What key detail should be added to strengthen the student’s paraphrasing of this excerpt?

A) Dulichium, Same, and Zacynthus are all visible to Ithaca.

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

C) The islands surrounding Ithaca lie to the east and the south.

D) Ithaca lies under Mount Neion and to the northwest.

Answer:

The detail that should be added to strengthen the paraphrasing is:

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

Explanation:

A paraphrase consists of rewording something that was said by someone else. That is, we say the exact same thing but with different words. Thus, to strengthen the student's paraphrase in this case, we must look for the idea that is missing.

In the original excerpt, Odysseus talks of Ithaca's geographic location, the fact that it is a good place "for a boy's training", and the fact that the island is a place he loves:

I shall not see on earth a place more dear.

However, the student's paraphrase has left out this last idea. To make it more complete, we should add that Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

What lies ahead of us and for the world after the CoronaVirus?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Corona is a pandemic disease that shocked and undermined the economic of every country in the world. It lowered the rate of population of each country in the world .Some countries will have to build alot of hospitals and buy health facilities because there was lack of hospitals and health facilities. The most damaged thinks is the economy of every country and they will have to work very hard towards that and I think Italy is one of those countries. The education system has to cover what was lost due to this period of time which will hard for the students because some countries like Kenya the students have to repeat the same class and I think human beings have learnt the need for cleanness.The training of doctors and nurses need to be high .We also need to thank alot to the health services who were there for us during this crusual time for us
