D) A savage beguiler
In sheathings of silk
The lines chosen must show that the sea is cruel but it seems as though it's not. The word beguile means to enchant something in a deceptive way. By describing the sea as a savage beguiler, it gives the sea the image of something that is fierce, but not seen as fierce. It's seemingly calm beauty, like silk, tricks one into thinking that it is calm.
The other options do not work. Option A only creates a negative image. Option B also only creates a negative image of the sea as a predator. Option C personifies the sea as having fingers, but doesn't show it's cruel nature.
Answer: A
Explanation: a compound sentence is one in which 2 independent clauses are joined by a single conjunction by a , or ; alone. A is the only sentence that could be broken up into two complete sentences that make sense if the comma and conjunction (in this case, but) we’re removed. “This loaf of bread is almost stale. We can turn it into breadcrumbs for the meatballs”.
Odysseus won the war by hiding inside the hallow horse. It was then brought into the city, and later on Trojans partied, got drunk, and fell asleep. After, the Greeks got out of the horse, opened the city gates for the other Greek soldiers to come in, slaughtered the Trojans, and burned their city.
When he escaped the Cyclop, he got it drunk, so he could fall asleep. After plunging his eye, he escaped under the sheeps.
Comparison; Odysseus used camouflage to his advantage with himy hiding inside the horse and hiding under the sheeps.
Answer:
By evoking opposition, the paragraph creates rising
action and suspense.
Explanation:
The italicized paragraph is a reflection of Ithenhiel’s figment of his imagination, and not necessarily his past. This figment of his imagination as depicted by this paragraph creates rising action and suspense. Also, what is depicted in the paragraph does not suggest there any future conflict in Ithenhiel’s family. Rather, we can infer that this paragraph evokes opposition revealing Ithenhiel’s own thought, thereby creating rising action and suspense.
