When an author introduces a character, he can use both implicit and explicit descriptions. Explicit descriptions detail the characteristics of a person, so that the reader does not need to reach his own conclusions about them. On the other hand, implicit descriptions are developed by describing a character's actions and thoughts and letting the reader reach his own conclusions. In the case of heroes and monsters, the author can use descriptions such as the need to help or the need to harm in order to develop these characters.

Which is NOT true of xenia as it pertains both to the Greek culture and to The Odyssey? Failure to show xenia, both within the b
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

It is based on obligation, not on friendship.

Explanation:

Xenia is an ancient Greek belief/ concept of extending hospitality to others, especially strangers. It is this belief that will hold many respectable relationships in Greek culture and even still practiced by some people in the modern world.

In both the Greek culture and the book "The Odyssey" by Homer, the concept of Xenia is presented or practiced. The question is asking which is not true of this concept, so the <u>concept that is not true will be that Xenia is based on religious obligation and not friendship</u>. This is false because, <u>Xenia is based on both religious and friendship obligations, not just one alone</u>. Xenia allows people to be hospitable to one another which can continue for generations, thus, merging with the friendship obligation.

The<u> failure to show xenia can incur the wrath of Zeus is true for Zeus is believed to be the patron of the very concept</u>.

<u>Xenia involves the reciprocal guest-host relationship of hospitality is true because it is about the two parties' relationship of showing hospitality towards one another</u>, the host waiting for the guest to be comfortable before he can ask questions and the guest has to make sure they do nothing wrong against their host. They are also expected to show the same hospitality whenever needed in the future.

<u>Odysseus violated the code of xenia on the island when he was a guest of the Cyclops Polyphemus by stealing his property and hurting him</u>.

Convert the following sentence from compound to complex sentence.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses, meaning there should be a conjunction to connect the two clauses (FANBOYS) or a semicolon.

A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.

Note that independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence, meaning they have both a subject and a predicate.

On the other hand, a dependent clause can not stand alone as a sentence, has both a subject and verb, and will most often start with a subordinating conjunction.

<u>We have the sentence:</u>

Water is an endangered resource and we cannot live without it.

<u>We can make it:</u>

As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.

As much as is the subordinating conjunction that makes the first clause dependent.

"We cannot live without it" is the independent clause.

You can remove "As much as" and replace it with any subordinating conjunction that makes sense, it's just hard to find a perfect replacement for the conjunction "and."

nika2105 [10]

The correct answer is C.

The comic tone of the play is solely given by the characters' calm reaction to the the huge fire that is surely to burn down the whole hotel.

If the characters were to react like normal people would -screaming and panicking- the play would lose its whole essense.
