The error is this passage is punctuation. The correct punctuation in these sentences is the following: “Often, when a child talks about fairness, she means sameness<em><u>. She</u></em> wants her situation to be the same as her brother's situation.”

A period is needed between the word “sameness” and “she” since it separates two complete sentences. If a period is not included then the whole phrase does not have sense.  

Punctuation is an important writing resource that helps us organize and add coherence to our texts.

Which epic characteristic is represented by the opening lines of the Iliad by Homer?
Andru [333]

An epic simile is basically a regular simile, but it takes place over the course of several lines in poetry. There is no evidence in the excerpt provided that the correct answer could be a simile, so we’ll rule that option out.


The phrase starting in medias generally means that it’s a somewhat introduction. It can often introduce the story in the beginning, or be a great start if you want to start your story with a flashback. I’d say this is a good answer for the question, but just in case there’s a better one let’s go over the other options as well.


To invoke the muse would be to get inspiration for whatever it is you’re going to start doing. For example, let’s say you’re writing a story, and you have no ‘muse.’ Here you’d ‘pray to the muse gods’ to give you muse, or in another word, inspiration. This is clearly not the answer because the passage is not invoking any muse. They clearly already know which direction they’re taking with the story.


And finally, the use of epithets would be to specifically describing something and/ or someone. Sure, this passage caries descriptive detail, but that’s not its primary focus.


In conclusion, the correct answer to this question is b ) starting in medias res.
