Answer:

Odysseus and his wife, penelope, are symbols used by the author.

Explanation:

Odysseus represents the spirit, his wife Penelope, matter. The spirit, for the Greeks, is superior to matter, so it rules. What happens when Odysseus gets away from home? There is disorder, for the house is without its king, its ruler. Ithaca and his house are in decay, at the mercy of usurpers and traitors. Matter without the spirit has no strength, so Penelope can not take the reins of her house, can not rule; but matter needs ontologically of the spirit, hence its firm loyalty to Odysseus.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

2.

Explanation:

In his famous speech '<u>Give me liberty or give me death</u>,' Patrick Henry urged the American Colonies to fight against England for freedom. The speech was delivered on 23rd March 1775 to the Second Virginia Convention. The speech was highly rhetorical.

The sentence that suggests the belief of Henry in the sufficiency of armed forces to the colonists is the second option.

<u><em>"Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power."</em></u>

The word 'means' is used to refer to the armed resources that Henry believed to be bestowed by God of nature to them.

So, the correct answer is option 2.
