The word "Renaissance" literally means rebirth or revival. This period of history was heavily inspired by society's renewed interest in classical (namely Greek) culture, particularly art, learning, and literature. Therefore, the most fitting answer for this question would be A. Hope this helps.
Answer:
True. Homer uses irony in Menelaus's speaking with Helen about her history.
Explanation:
In Book 2 of "The Odyssey", Telemachus had arrived at the kingdom of Sparta and was staying with Menelaus. There, during dinner, they converse on the bravery of Odysseus and Menelaus and Helen began telling of stories about their knowledge of him. Helen expresses her praise for Odysseus and said that while she was in Troy as the wife of Paris, she had seen through the disguise of Odysseus but she did not report him to the Trojans as she misses her home and husband. This was responded by Menelaus as being "quite a tale". In this discourse between husband and wife, Homer uses irony and sarcasm.

Explanation:
Tree-ear is an orphan boy who lives with a man named Crane-man. They live under a bridge. One of Tree-ears hobbies is watching the potters in the village. Especially Min's work because he is the best in the village. One day when Min wasn't around Tree-ear snuck into his shed and looked at all his pottery. He ended up braking on of Min's pieces of pottery. He then worked for Min for 9 days to repay him for the broken pottery. It has been Tree-ears dream to make pottery of his own. He was very excited to work for Min because he might get a chance to make pottery. But instead he gets wood. He is sad about this but he still happy he can help. So when the nine days were over he asked if he would keep working for Min. Min agrees. Tree-ear loves working for Min and still has hope of making pottery. While he watches Min work he picks up things on making pottery. One day Tree-ear finds out that there is going to be a royal commissioner to pick a man to be a royal potter. It is the chance of a life time. Tree-ear has high hopes of Min getting picked. Min works very hard to make the perfect pottery. Another potter, not as good as Min, desires to use white clay and red clay instead of the normal gray clay. It turns out to have a beautiful color and design but is not as a precise piece as Min's. Tree-ear can tell that the commissionaire likes both of their pottery but only one can be picked. Tree-ear hopes that it is Min.
So what needs to be answered then, If he likes both equally?
This thesis statement is an effective comparison\contrast statement because:
It mentions the two objects of comparison; A Jury of Her Peers and The Lamb of the Slaughter.
It explains what things are alike in both texts; use of symbolism, point of view and characterization to explore the stereotypical roles of women in the early twentieth century.
It includes what the author would like for the reader to understand about the topic, which in this case is the stereotypical roles of women in the early twentieth century.
