I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. Literal language is usually found in <span>all of the following except poetry. Oftentimes, poetry conveys a different meaning from the literal meaning of the words involved in the work. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer:
Soldiers must be wary of their enemies.
Explanation:
In the excerpt, after Odysseus's men think they've won, they let the fugitives go in land. The fugitives then go get the Cicones' army. The army comes down to the beach and wipes out Odysseus's men. Since Odysseus's men underestimated the enemy, they are destroyed. Therefore, the best theme of this excerpt is that soldiers must be wary of their enemies. Even though the men do reap the benefits of their initial victory by gaining stores of wine and mutton, they do not leave the beach alive. The fugitives are not isolated because they have an entire army the run to for help. The only mention of horses is that the army can fight on horseback or on foot. This is not enough to develop a theme.

Answer:
x = 2.45 yards
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Distance = 50¼ yards = 201/4 = 50.25 yards
Time = 20½ minutes = 20.5
To find the distance covered in a minute;
50.25 yards = 20.5 minutes
x yards = 1 minute
Cross-multiplying, we have;
x * 20.5 = 50.25 * 1
20.5x = 50.25
x = 50.25/20.5
x = 2.45 yards
Method II.
201/4 yards = 41/2 minutes
x yards = 1 minute
Cross-multiplying, we have;
x * 41/2 = 201/4
41x/2 = 201/4
41x * 4 = 201 * 2
164x = 402
x = 402/164 = 201/82 = 2 37/82 yards
