Answer:
d).hope arrive at unexpected ways
These two examples of how the gods intervene in the lives of humans come from Book 1 of <em>The Iliad</em>.
The first example is that of Apollo. When Agamemnon takes Chryseis, a beautiful maiden, for himself, her father asks for her back. He even offers to pay a significant amount for her, but Agamemnon refuses. Chryseis's father asks the god Apollo for help, and Apollo decides to send a plague to the Greek camp, which leads to the death of many soldiers.
Another example is that of goddess Athena. When Agamemnon sees that he might be deprived of a woman, he asks Achilles to give him his own, a maiden named Briseis. This causes Achilles to become extremely angry, and he even considers killing Agamemnon. However, in order to defuse the situation, the goddess Athena intervenes and succeeds in preventing the duel.
One time i went on a walk to the park. I was sitting on a bench by myself and I was really lonely. this person came up to me and asked me if i wanted to play with her and her sister. I said sure and played with them. A few hours went by and they had to leave, So i went to go pick my book up. When i got to the bench, my book was gone. It was my favorite book at the time so i was really distraught. The girls came back over and asked me what was wrong. I said i lost my book. They had a party to go to but they stayed behind and helped me look for my book. we never found it but the fact that these random girls were late to a birthday party for their aunt to help me find a book made me really happy. this was a while ago but i still appreciate them
After reading the sentences, we can tell we are supposed to use the words in parentheses to form phrases that will complete the blank spaces. We can do it in the following manner:
- My brother <u>was on his own</u> when the accident happened.
- I <u>gave up on reading</u> the book after the first three chapter because it was so boring.
- The heat <u>made it impossible fo</u>r me to get on with my work.
This question requires knowledge about collocations.
<h3>What are collocations?</h3>
- Collocations are words that are often used together in order to convey meaning. Their joint usage is so common that we say they sound good and natural together.
- Let's use number 1 above as an example. We must use the word "own" to fill in the blank. We also know that we should say something implying that the brother was alone.
- The best option is to say <u>he was on his own</u> when the accident happened. "To be on one's own" means to be alone, and it is a common phrase (collocation) to use and express such meaning.
