Answer:

3. Man being devoured Polyphemus' cave.

5. Scylla devouring six crew members.

Explanation:

These tragic events that take place in The Odyssey are not directly the fault of Odysseus. Odysseus could not have done anything to prevent the actions of Polyphemus or of Scylla. However, the other examples describe actions that could have been prevented by Odysseus. Most of these were consequences of the character's hubris, or extreme arrogance and pride.

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

The word abysmal is derived from the word abyss, so its basic meaning is very deep. However, it can be also used figuratively to describe something bad or catastrophic. Knowing that abysmal is an adjective, we can see the wrong usage of it being represented as a noun and even putting and adjective just right next to it and confirming its role as a noun which abysmal certainly is not.

In the sentence A, we can see that abysmal refers to breaking six pencils, so as an adjective it modifies a noun, while in the other examples other adjectives refer to abysmal, modify it and take it as a noun.

In answers B, C and D we see that this word is used as a noun, thus making A the correct answer.
