Answer:

a. Odysseus wanted to see her reaction.

Explanation:

Homer's epic narrative "The Odyssey" revolves around the journey that Odysseus and his men undertook to get back home to Ithaca. The journey lasted more then two decades after which Odysseus got safely back to his family and home.

In Book XIX we find Odysseus arriving back to Ithaca but disguised as a beggar. His son Telemachus knows him but then the rest of the people doesn't even recognize him, not even his own wife. Later on, he and Penelope talked of his journey and Penelope asked him lots of questions, testing him if he really had been with Odysseus. In return, Odysseus told her that he had been with him, describing him in ways that will make her believe his story. Then, he also told her that her husband is still alive and that he will eventually return. This is his way of testing her whether she had been faithful to him all these years or not, and also to see her reaction to the possibility of his return.

Assess how the media is supposed to exercise its roles and responsibilities in reporting on human rights violation in democracy
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

In a democracy, the main function of the media is to inform the people about everything that is of public interest, and to keep an eye on the branches of government: the president, the congress, and the judiciary.

Human rights violations are either caused by the government, or by other citizens (for example, a gang or a mafia cartel). In both cases, the media has the responsability to cast light on the cases, to inform them to the citizens, and to denounce them. This action is of great importance for democracy, because when human rights are violated, democracy is either in danger, or disappearing.
