What most closely does the "mirroring shield" reflect?

History

Flura [38]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The mirroring shield reflects Medusa.

Explanation:

Medusa was a character in Greek mythology. She was one of the three Gorgon, the only one of the three who had a mortal nature, and the daughter of Phorkys and Keto.  

The three sisters Medusa, Stheno and Euryale, also known as Gorgons, were children of the Chthonian gods Phorkys and his sister Keto and were originally regarded in Greek art as deformed from birth.

Perseus, the son of Zeus and Princess Danae, was confronted with these Gorgons: Polydektes, who followed Danae to Perseus' displeasure, asked Perseus to bring him the head of Medusa in the hope that Perseus would - like everyone who has tried to do so - do not survive. That would have paved the way for Danae for Polydektes.

But Perseus had Athena on his side, who lent him a mirrored shield. He got winged shoes from Hermes, and nymphs gave him a camouflage cap. In his wing shoes, he hurried across the sky to the end of the world. Through Perseus, Athena hoped to completely eliminate the evil-doer Medusa and explained how he could behead Medusa without looking her in the face and therefore having to freeze to stone. When the Gorgons had fallen asleep, Perseus stalked to Medusa with the camouflage cap. He did not look directly at her face, but only at its image, which was reflected in Athens' shield. With a deliberate blow he beheaded Medusa and searched for the distance, while behind him the screaming and exasperated tones of her horrified sisters could be heard.

All the presidents men what advantages could be gained in a presidential campaign by spying on the opposition
sergejj [24]

Answer:

By spying on an opposition, the presidential candidate can try to disrupt their campaign and win in an unethical way.

Explanation:

Spying on an opposition leader can provide information on what kind of voters they are targeting, what messages they are sending out, where they will have fund-raising dinners etc.

With this information, a lot of problems can be created. An example of this is President Nixon who spied on his opposition Edmund Muskie.

His unethical tactics including, disrupting fundraisers, false letters and even a completely made up sexual misconduct charge. All of these, severely disrupted Edmund's campaign and paved the way for a Nixon win.

In modern scholarship, all these tactics are considered anti-democratic.

How did the presidential election of 1916 lead to the US entry into WW1?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

America entered the  World War I on account of sympathy.

The election took place during the time of the Mexican Revolution and World War I.

Although officially neutral in the European conflict, public opinion in the United States leaned towards the Allied forces headed by Great Britain and France against the German Empire and Austria-Hungary, due in large measure to the harsh treatment of civilians by the German Army in Belgium and northern France and the militaristic character of the German and Austrian monarchies, but in spite of their sympathy with the Allied forces most American voters wanted to avoid involvement in the war and preferred to continue a policy of neutrality
