Hello! If your reading this just please listen,

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves, in

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

What key detail should be added to strengthen the student’s paraphrasing of this excerpt?

A) Dulichium, Same, and Zacynthus are all visible to Ithaca.

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

C) The islands surrounding Ithaca lie to the east and the south.

D) Ithaca lies under Mount Neion and to the northwest.

Answer:

The detail that should be added to strengthen the paraphrasing is:

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

Explanation:

A paraphrase consists of rewording something that was said by someone else. That is, we say the exact same thing but with different words. Thus, to strengthen the student's paraphrase in this case, we must look for the idea that is missing.

In the original excerpt, Odysseus talks of Ithaca's geographic location, the fact that it is a good place "for a boy's training", and the fact that the island is a place he loves:

I shall not see on earth a place more dear.

However, the student's paraphrase has left out this last idea. To make it more complete, we should add that Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

What topics are explored or discussed in Chapter 1 of "The things they carried"

Xelga [282]

First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried letters from a girl named Martha, a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey. They were not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack. In the late afternoon, after a day's march, he would dig his foxhole, wash his hands under a canteen, unwrap the letters, hold them with the tips of his fingers, and spend the last hour of light pretending. He would imagine romantic camping trips into the White Mountains in New Hampshire. He would sometimes taste the envelope flaps, knowing her tongue had been there. More than anything, he wanted Martha to love him as he loved her, but the letters were mostly chatty, elusive on the matter of love. She was a virgin, he was almost sure. She was an English major at Mount Sebastian, and she wrote beautifully about her professors and roommates and midterm exams, about her respect for Chaucer and her great affection for Virginia Woolf. She often quoted lines of poetry; she never mentioned the war, except to say, Jimmy, take care of yourself. The letters weighed 10 ounces. They were signed Love, Martha, but Lieutenant Cross understood that Love was only a way of signing and did not mean what he sometimes pretended it meant. At dusk, he would carefully return the letters to his rucksack. Slowly, a bit distracted, he would get up and move among his men, checking the perimeter, then at full dark he would return to his hole and watch the night and wonder if Martha was a virgin.
