Answer:

Knowing Greek mythology helps us expand our vocabulary because:

A. Some words that we use today were used by characters in Greek myths.

Explanation:

There are words and expressions commonly seen and used in today's English that actually come from Greek myths and epic poems. Therefore, knowing about Greek mythology can help us understand the origin and meaning of those words. For instance, if you know about the hero Achilles, you will easily understand the expression "Achilles heel". If you have an Achilles heel, that means you have a weakness. That expression comes from the myth, where the hero Achilles, who was indestructible, had only one weakness - his heel. Only by being hit by an arrow in his heel is Achilles defeated.

This question asks for a full essay, which we cannot provide. However, we can offer some guidance on the subject that can help you get started.

Lady Macbeth is the wife of Macbeth, in the play of the same name. Lady Macbeth is very significant because she appears to be even more ambitious than her husband. This is shown in various ways. For example, Lady Macbeth is the one that plots the murder of Duncan. Moreover, Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth when he hesitates. She also wishes she were not a woman so she could commit the murder herself. In this way, Lady Macbeth demonstrates that she is more ambitious and less cautious than her husband.

Answer for 30 and 31??????
Anettt [7]

30

A little tricky. I think it is the best answer, but many people do not like participial phrases at the beginning of a sentence. This one seems fine. You might get nailed for being redundant. All quadrapeds have 4 feet. But there's nothing better.

31

I agree with your choice.
