Answer:
Patience has its rewards
Explanation:
The above answer is the correct answer.
From the passage, we discover that Odyssey exhibited patience. An evidence from the states that "And ah! how long, with what desire, I waited! till, at the twilight hour..." This depicts that Odyssey was actually patient.
Then it was revealed what reward he got from being patient, "when one who hears and judges pleas in the marketplace all day between contentious men, goes home to supper, the long poles at last reared from the sea."
So, we discover that despite the tossing from the billow and what he experienced under a bough, he still exhibited patience. The theme best shown by the conflict is that patience has its rewards.
The excerpts that function and can be characterized more accurately as expository texts are the first three excerpts: Excerpt 1, Excerpt 2 and Excerpt 3. These excerpts are centered around the communication of knowledge, of information which the reader may not have. They are exposing these 'new' information with short and regular sentences that strive to be as clear as possible. It can be discussed if the Excerpt 5, taken from Charles Dickens' <em>Great Expectations</em>, is an expository text, seeing as it has a very nuanced description; but it would be more precise to consider that excerpt as a descriptive text, as a type of text related to narrative fiction.
The function of the infinitive phrase in the sentence <em>To win a marathon is my goal </em>is object of the verb.
It is definitely an object, and it would follow a verb if it were a normal ordering of words in the sentence (My goal is to win a marathon), and since it is not preceded by a preposition, it cannot be object of the preposition, but of a verb.
