Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The Odyssey, by ancient Greek poet Homer, is the second part of The Iliad, and it tells the story of Odysseus trying to come back home after the War of Troy.

In the excerpt, the speaker describes Oddyseus' men using negative words as "mutinous" or "fool," also, he suggests that the actions were caused by not taking good care of their own situation. Rhetorical devices as simile (compare two things) are very important to persuade the reader (shambling like cattle) how difficult the situation was.

Question 3(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)
Anarel [89]
The answer, I believe is PATHOS. Why?

• Definition of Pathos:
- An emotional appeal to an audience by eliciting feelings that reside in the presenter.

•• My Reasoning ••
- This sentence from the Declaration of Independence resonates the "feelings of the American colonists under British rule".

It could also be LOGOS. However, I believe that PATHOS might be the correct choice for the question. THEME and PURPOSE can be directly eliminated from the choices.
