Answer:
The author explicitly says that spirit can be found in the voice of a character.
Explicitly means directly - so it means that the author didn't hide the fact that he knew what could be found in the voice.
Here is what he says:
That is wholly appropriate, for in the breath—the voice—of a character lies its essential spirit.
So the correct answer is definitely spirit.
Explanation:
B he uses imagery to suggest the character is unreliable
1. impinge = strike
The word impinge can have various meanings, but in the case above, it means to strike. When 'the rain impinge[d] upon the earth,' it means that it started raining, the rain started striking the earth. To impinge means that something starts, and usually something negative.
2. garrulous = loquacious
The word garrulous refers to someone who talks excessively, likes to talk a bit too much, and usually about something trivial. Loquacious is a fancy word to denote the same thing, although it has a more positive connotation - it refers to someone who can speak nicely.
3. pious = religious
The word pious comes from the Latin word pius, which means dutiful. So when English took this word from Latin, it added a different suffix (-ous), and gave it the meaning of being 'dutiful to God.' So nowadays, pious refers to someone who is devoutly religious.
4. ruinous = dilapidated
The word ruinous refers to something which is in ruins, which is falling apart. The word which means the same thing is dilapidated - both of these words are usually used to describe buildings that are very old, and derelict, and are practically in ruins.
The full question is: In what different ways does the text distinguish prometheus's character from that of the other gods on mount olympus
Answer and Explanation:
The text to which the question refers is "Prometheus the friend of man."
In the text Prometheus is presented very differently from the other gods of Olympus. That's because he preferred to spend his time on earth working to make human life easier, unlike the Olympian gods, who preferred to do nothing, rest and receive offerings. Furthermore, the text shows that Prometheus wanted human beings to be independent and able to act without the help of the Olympian gods, who believed that human beings should be submissive and servants.
