Answer:

Odysseus and his men encounter the land of the lotus eaters in Book Nine. Now, after being carried in the sea for nine whole days they land on Lotophagi on the the tenth day. Of course after all that time on sea, Odysseus and his men would grow hungry. So, before further continuation of their journey they ate. Soon after, Odysseus sent out three men to explore the island. Inevitably, they encounter the “Lotus-eaters,” who were the people of Lotophagi. They were rather kind and never wanted to cause harm. Now, again, the lotus-eaters ment harm to no man, so they offered Odysseus’s men a lotus. Although, the men of Odysseus had no knowledge that whomever ate the honey flavored fruit would no longer long to return home, or would no longer care for things that were once sacred to them. No, instead when one devoured the taste of a Lotus, they’d only crave for the taste of even more Lotus. Thus, after Odysseus men ate the Lotus, they forgot of their important mission; To return to Ithaca. Odysseus then has to force his onto their ship, so they can return home.

This short summary of what happened on the land the is called Lotophagi, proves that the correct answer to this question is b ) Some of Odysseus's men taste the lotus fruit and refuse to leave the island. Odysseus takes them back to the ship by force.

Answer:

No 12 New Market Road,

GRA,

Enugu State.

Nigeria.

Dear John,

How are you and how is your family over there in Nigeria? Hope everyone is okay.

As you are well aware, I've just written my WAEC exams which gives me the platform to gain admission into a higher institute of learning.

I plan to study Medicine and Surgery and become like the hero we always dreamed of when we were kids - Kwadwo Asamoah -, helping the sick get better and the society better as a whole.

I applied to the prestigious University of Accra, Ghana which I think is the best place possible for me to learn and become a competent doctor and surgeon. I have already gotten the school brochure and started preliminary studies and would appreciate your help in the financial aspects of my education like you already promised.

I appreciate your assistance and hope to come down to Nigeria and see you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Prince Appiah.

Chopin’s protagonist in “The Story of an Hour,” Louise Mallard, utters the words “free, free, free” after she receives the news
icang [17]

The theme of the story expressed in that action is the submission and lack of freedom of women in marriages in those times.

In Chopin's "<em>The Story of an Hour</em>", Louise Mallard feels free when knowing that her husband passed away because she felt imprisoned being married to him. Given the patriarchal society and the way women were seen in her times, she never could really live the way she wanted and had to submit to him.
