Answer:

The description that is archetypal is:

B. The Cyclops kills without remorse.

Explanation:

An archetype is a sort of a model, a prototype that is usually followed by authors throughout history. While we have archetypes for heroes - beautiful, strong, intelligent, courageous -, we also have archetypes for monsters.

Be it in literature, movies, series, or plays, monsters tend to have certain repeated characteristics (archetypal features). They are mostly extremely ugly or scary looking. They are violent for no reason, killing without remorse and purpose. Some of them, especially the ones who are human-like, may be quite intelligent. But the beast-like ones are often incapable of reasoning, doing things out of sheer savageness. Monsters are natural villains in stories, even the few ones who lead a quiet life in their dens and only attack when provoked. The fact that they look so scary and are often incapable of communicating makes humans instantly afraid of them.

The Cyclops in the epic poem "They Odyssey" are archetypal monsters. They have limited intelligence, a horrendous appearance, and are men-eaters. Men are not seen by Cyclops as intelligent creatures whose lives matter. They kill and eat them as if men existed to be a delicious little treat.

Answer:

b. True

Explanation:

"The Prince and the Pauper" is a fictional story written by Mark Twain. It centers on the characters of Tom Canty, a beggar, and Edward Tudor, a prince.

Edward Tudor was born as a Prince of England, particularly, the Prince of Wales. He and Tom had a resemblance that they decided to switch places temporarily. In order to protect his name, Edward hid the "Great Seal of England." The switching of roles allowed both of them to experience what it was to live a different life. This opened Edward's eyes to the inequality that was happening around the society. Upon regaining his position, he made Tom as the "King's Ward" and also reigned with mercy.

Study the attached image carefully and explain the connection between melting permafrost and climate change (AKA global warming)

borishaifa [10]

The more carbon that's released, the more plants grow, but the more plants that grow, the more carbon

is released. The permafrost levels also lower, releasing even more carbon into the atmosphere. Global warming is dangerous because the rate in which the climate changes will grow exponentially. In other words, the effects with each passing year will become faster and harder to reverse.
