Answer:

The Cyclops’ effort to move the stone is compared to a simple task, showing his strength.

This excerpt belongs to The Odyssey. The plot:

"Ten years have gone since the fall of Troy, and the Greek legend Odysseus still has not come back to his kingdom in Ithaca. An expansive and rambunctious horde of suitors who have to invade Odysseus' royal residence and looted his territory keep on pursuing his significant other, Penelope. She has stayed reliable to Odysseus. Sovereign Telemachus, Odysseus' child, needs frantically to toss them out yet does not have the certainty or experience to battle them. One of the suitors, Antinous, plans to kill the youthful ruler, disposing of the main restriction to their domain over the royal residence."

BaLLatris [955]

This "italicized" part of the sentence is an adjectival dependent clause. It acts as an adjective to the word motorist and cannot stand alone without putting it with an independent sentence, such as "The motorist lost his way."

RUDIKE [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The question above refers to the 100-Year Starship Project and the need for public support for this project to progress and develop efficiently. Jemison, one of those responsible for the project, says that public support and dedication is essential, however, he is not referring only to the support of the population, but to the commitment of public bodies to stimulate research, scientific progress and the discoveries that project can accomplish. The lack of cooperation from public agencies discourages space travel, due to the lack of resources and funding.
