Answer:

the answer is option D

Explanation: Journalists called Alaska purchase of 1867 as Seward's Folly because they viewed Alaska as a remote,snowbound , barren territory. Alaska was purchased by the secretary of state William Seward with 7.2 million $. But some criticized it as Seward's Folly which means Seward's icebox. Primarily this land was covered by ice and it wasn't fertile. So before discovering the gold in 1890 they thought this land just as a icebox of Seward.

He decides to let Patroclus wear his armor

He didn't want to fight so he let Patroclus in disguise lead his army. Patroclus made a mistake however since he didn't just return as he said he would after the defense of the beaches but rather he pushed towards the gates where he died because of this and when his armor was removed everyone saw that it wasn't Achilles.
