Odysseus does not clasp Nausicaa's knees because he is afraid he would frighten or offend her. So instead he talks to her and admires her beauty. Nausicaa feels that Odysseus does not want to harm her, so she decides to help him.

Answer: He is afraid he would frighten or offend her.

Explanation:

Although Odysseus wants to supplicate Naussicaa for help, he fears that clasping her knees might frighten her, him being a bulky naked mess and her a helpless youthful princess. Instead, he invokes the knee-clasp verbally ('I clasp tour knees, my queen') without touching her at all and keeping his distance.

Exercise 6 Place a check next to each sentence in which the adverb is positioned correctly.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The adverbs in the statement are simply and apart.

<h3>What are adverbs?</h3>

A verb, adjective, another adverb, determiner, clause, preposition, or sentence is typically modified by an adverb. Adverbs often answer questions like "how," "in what way," "when," "where," and "to what extent" by expressing things like method, place, time, frequency, degree, level of certainty, etc. The adverbial function is carried out by single adverbs, as well as by multi-word adverbial phrases and clauses.

Adverbs are typically thought of as an element of speech. The term "adverb" has come to be employed as a sort of "catch-all" category in modern linguistics, classifying words with different syntactic behaviors that don't necessarily share much in common other than the fact that they don't fall into any of the other categories.

How do various elements of the story—conflict and resolution, characters’ dialogue and behavior—contribute to the story’s theme?
Irina18 [472]
The story, which seems to be about several characters finding their identity within themselves, uses these elements to express the plot and its moral. The conflict and resolution between Squeaky and other characters (sorry, havent read the book, just a quick summary) shows the growth of her character (and if anyone else had conflicts and resolutions, its growth for them too). Its the characters way of finding their maturity, and learning how to handle their problems, and having the experience after dealing with them. Also, both the dialouge and their behavior towards certain actions or words can also show us the characters progression and growth, and can give us a bit of insight as to where the character stands in the beginning, and how they find themselves and their true calling and identity in the end.
