A) "To him, <u>your celebration is a sham</u>; <u>your boasted liberty, an unholy license</u>; <u>your national greatness, swelling vanity</u>." This sentence is an instance of parallellism. The same pattern is repeated- look at the underlined words-. Subject + to be + complement. However, this pattern is used in "your celebration is a sham". In the other two structures the verb to be has been omitted and a comma has been used,instead. " your boasted liberty, (is) an unholy license; your national greatness, (is) swelling vanity." The verb to be can be taken out since it can be easily retrieved from the context. If it is ellided, it should be replaced by a comma.

The correct answer is C.  It is wise to follow the counsel of trusted friends.

Explanation:

In the excerpt from The Odyssey, a friend of Odysseus the main character advises him to take what they need from the cave and then just leave, this can be seen in the section "Why not take these cheeses, get them stowed, come back, throw open all the pens, and make a run for it?." However, Odysseus decides not to follow this advice due to his curiosity to see the caveman "Yet I refused. I wished to see the caveman", and this decision has terrible consequences Odysseus recognized "no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends"; indeed due to this decision many died. According to this, the main underlying message or theme is that "it is wise to follow the counsel of trusted friends" because in the story not doing this has terrible consequences.
