7 0

The correct answer is Odysseus does not want to reveal their only means of escape.

Explanation:

During this excerpt, Odysseus tells the Cyclops his ship was destroyed "Poseidon Lord, who sets the earth a-tremble, broke it up on the rocks at your land's end" and this is a lie because Odysseus and his men simply sailed to the island. Moreover, this lie is motivated by Odysseus' fear that the Cyclops destroy the ship because this is the only way the men have to scape the island. Indeed, this lie saves Odysseus and his men because the Cyclops then turns hostile and they need to escape from this island.

What is the effect of changing the story to present tense in the radio broadcast version?
Slav-nsk [51]

The correct answer is B. It makes the story feel like it is happening live rather than in the past

Explanation:

In literature, the tense used in a narrative affect the atmosphere of it and the perception the audience has on events. In the case presented an excerpt for The War of the Worlds has been adapted for radio and in this process, the tense has changed from past to present tense. In both cases, one character who is also the narrator describes the way he or she observed an object or creature that resembled a snake.

However, in the case of the original excerpt the use of past shows this event already occurred and the character is just reporting them, while in the case of the second excerpt the use of present means the character is experiencing the events at that moment or that the story is happening which makes the actions go faster but also makes the story more dynamic and alive. Considering this, it can be concluded the effect of changing the tense to present is that it makes the story feel like it is happening live rather than in the past.
