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.

What does the phrase "the edge of the sea concerned / with itself" most strongly
exis [7]

Answer:

The phrase "the edge of the sea concerned / with itself" most strongly  suggests:

A) The sea continues to break on the shore despite Icarus's drowning.

Explanation:

"Landscape with the Fall of Icarus", by William Carlos Williams, is a poem that describes a painting  by Pieter Brueghel. The painting depicts the mythological character Icarus falling from the sky into the ocean as his wax wings are melted by the sun. The poem and the painting convey the same idea that the world goes on without consideration for the suffering of a being. Not one person, one thing, was disturbed by Icarus's fall. As the lines say, "the edge of the sea concerned / with itself", meaning the ocean itself is not disturbed. Icarus has just fallen inside it, but the sea continues to break on the shore as if nothing has happened, as if no one had died.
