Read the passage from "The Lady, or the Tiger.” When her lover turned and looked at her, and his eye met hers as she sat there,

paler and whiter than any one in the vast ocean of anxious faces about her, he saw, by that power of quick perception which is given to those whose souls are one, that she knew behind which door crouched the tiger, and behind which stood the lady… Then it was that his quick and anxious glance asked the question: "Which?”… She raised her hand, and made a slight, quick movement toward the right. No one but her lover saw her. Every eye but his was fixed on the man in the arena… He turned, and with a firm and rapid step he walked across the empty space. Every heart stopped beating, every breath was held, every eye was fixed immovably upon that man. Without the slightest hesitation, he went to the door on the right, and opened it. Which statement explains what the young man’s choice reveals about his character?

Answer:

He trusts his lover, the princess, completely.

Explanation:

Frank R. Stanton's "The Lady, or the Tiger" is about the story of a young man who fell in love with a princess for which he was given 'fair' judgment. This fair judgment involves choosing between two doors, which contains a fair woman to become his wife immediately, or a tiger who will kill him.

And as seen in the given excerpt, the young man seemed faithful and trusts his lover completely. When it was time for him to choose, he looked at his lover and acted according to the indication of the princess. When the princess <em>"raised her hand, and made a slight, quick movement toward the right"</em>, the young man <em>"Without the slightest hesitation, went to the door on the right, and opened it."</em> This act showed complete trust in the decision of the one he loves.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Write a paragraph that evaluates Odysseus’s qualifications as an epic hero.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The hero of legend Odysseus is an epic hero because he embodies many of the traits of an epic hero, such as being a fearless commander. "Yet she urged that I alone should listen to their song. Therefore, you are to tie me up, tight as a splint, /erect along the mast, lashed to the mast, /and if I shout and beg to be untied, /take more turns of the rope to muffle me. /I would rather be dwelt on this part of the forecast, /while our good ship made time, bound outward down the wind for the strange island of Sirens "(Homer 23–31). Because he guides his men over treacherous seas, Odysseus might be considered heroic. He is never afraid to take on a challenge or accomplish a job.
