Answer:

4. He is assuring Calypso that "it's not you, it's me," and that he is not leaving because of any shortcomings on her part.

Explanation:

In <em>The Odyssey</em>, Odysseus spends seven years with the goddess Calypso in her island as her lover. Calypso is in love with Odysseus, and wants him to remain with her forever. However, Odysseus continues to love his wife Penelope, and wants to get back with her. In this excerpt, Odysseus assures Calypso that, although he wants to leave, this is not because of any shortcomings on her part.

Statements such as always, everybody, and never are cue words for which of the following?
AnnZ [28]
Words like <em>never, always, everybody, </em>etc. are absolute nouns and adverbs. In argument, these are usually a sign of over-generalization. These words alone cannot be considered as any kind of appeal (emotional, logical or ethical) since these appeals are done depending on how you use these words, not on the meaning of words as stand-alone.
