Answer with Explanation:
After the Trojan War, Odysseus planned to go back home. Together with him was his second-in-command, Eurylochus (a cowardly man) Upon their return, they stopped over a mythological island called "Aeaea." This was the home of an enchantress named "Circe." So, instead of greeting Circe, Eurylochos stayed away and knew her treachery. He told Odysseus that the crew were turned into pigs, so Odysseus went to rescue his men. This started a fight between Eurylochos and Odysseus after he successfully saved his men from Circe. This ended in reconciliation and Circe telling Odysseus to seek advice from Tiresias<em> (a blind prophet of Apollo). </em>
The prophet told Odysseus that they shouldn't touch the "Cattle of Helios" or the "Oxen of the Sun." However, the crew were already hungry. Thus, Eurylochus convinced them to eat the cattle while Odysseus was asleep. He told the crew how better it would be to be killed by the gods rather than by hunger and thus, they believed him. They killed the cattle and ate them. Because of this, Zeus became very angry and destroyed their ship.
Everyone was killed except Odysseus <u>(the only survivor</u>).
1) The improvement which was done to the bolded section in the sentence to make it correct is : Repetitive words were replaced with synonyms and pronouns. As it shown in the example, there is no need to duplicate the subject 'father' as it is clear to which word the pronoun 'he' relates. We always try to enrich our speech, so it's better to say the same thing in synonymous form:hates is replaced with dislikes - all in all it sounds good, looks natural and preserves the meaning of the first sentence.
<span>2) The sentence which should be revised to eliminate redundancy is With a prediction of a deadly storm season, the alert system is needed immediately. A redundancy in a sentence is when something is repeated for no reason, when there is obvious detail that brings no sense and can be omitted. From the first sentence we know that sirens were needed, so there is no need to repeat that. </span>
<span>3) The statement which best describes how this sentence can be made more concise is : It has a phrase that can be converted to reduce wordiness. The phrase from which the sentence is started is quite long, and according to its meaning, there is a better (shorter) equivalent, which is 'if'. Now it is concise : If spy a tornado, go and seek shelter in a dark room that has no windows.</span>
The correct answer is C. metaphor.
"Bright beams" that Nature has wrapped in black are Stella's eyes. In a way, it is also a simile, but every metaphor is a contracted simile (without "like").
There are other literary devices in this passage as well: contrast (black - bright), rhetorical question (one that doesn't have an answer, or an answer is obvious)...
Answer:
The sentence that is consistently iambic is:
D. Jamal requests a pen.
Explanation:
<u>We can define iamb or iambic foot as a sequence consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Therefore, if we highlight the stressed syllable in each line, we will be able to verify which one is iambic:</u>
A.Betty told me secrets.
B.Give me your sympathy.
C.Understand pirouettes.
<u>D.Ja</u><u>mal</u><u> re</u><u>quests</u><u> a </u><u>pen</u><u>.</u>
<u>The only sentence that presents iambs is the last one. It contains three sequences of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one, which makes it an iambic trimeter. Therefore, letter D is the right answer.</u>
