How does knowing Greek mythology help expand your vocabulary?

English
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Which passage is an example of inductive reasoning?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer is A. Marco believes that cowboy boots are cool. He sees many people on the street wearing them and decides to buy a pair for himself.

Inductive reasoning is the opposite of deductive reasoning. On one side, deductive reasoning begins with a general statement or idea, then evaluates and analyses the chances to arrive to a logical conclusion. On the other, inductive reasoning creates wide generalizations based on particular observations. Basically, there is information, and then conclusions are made based on that information.

In the case of Marco, he makes a particular observation (many people wear boots on the street), and then arrives to a conclusion (he assumes that boots are cool), so he decides to go with that (he buys himself a pair of boots).

7. This character says, "Don't be so sentimental" when the family cat is
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The person who said that was Mom.

Explanation:

In "The Glass Castle," a memoir by author Jeanette Walls, Jeanette's father simply tosses the family cat, Quixote, out the car window. Of course this action shows a lot about him - he is most likely a cold, merciless man. Jeanette's reaction, on the other hand, shows she is more sensitive than her father. When she starts crying, it is her mother who tells her to stop being so sentimental. She also says they can get another cat, and that life will be better for Quixote now.
