I believe it is the first quotation. "Cork hats and newspapers of more than eight pages were invented for the rain."
I think this is the correct answer because this quotation doesn't even mention umbrellas, but tells us about the other things we can put on our heads when it rains. The second, third, and fourth options may have non-comical meaning as well, depending on the context.
Answer and Explanation:
Dear Manager.
My name is Mary Eaton and I would like to ask for information about your hotel and the region where it is established, as I have been considering spending the summer holidays in your region and your hotel has great references.
First, I would like to ask for information about the safety guidelines against the pandemic that the hotel is establishing and I would also like to ask for information about the rate of contaminants in the region and the availability of hospitals.
Lastly, I would like to know information about the services that the hotel offers and the payment rate for a two-day rate for two people.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Mary Eaton.
It was 20 years since Odysseus had left his palace, but still his wife Penelope had some hope he would return, though most believed him dead. Many suitors had come to woo "the widow". She put them off with a ruse, persuading them to wait until she had finished a funeral shroud for Laertes, Odysseus's father, which she wove by day and secretly unravelled by night. In this way she managed to deceive them for three years. While they waited, the suitors made themselves the king's uninvited guests, eating him out of house and home. But then Penelope's ruse was discovered and the suitors demanded a decision. She came up with another ruse, an archery contest. She would marry whoever could string Odysseus's bow and fire it through 12 axes. The bow once belonged to the archer Eurytus, grandson of Apollo, and no one, she hoped, could wield it.
