This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:
Read the excerpt from Part 4 of The Odyssey.
As long as bread and good red wine remained to keep the men up, and appease their craving, they would not touch the cattle. But in the end, when all the barley in the ship was gone, so hunger drove them to scour the wild shore with angling hooks, for fishes and seafowl, whatever fell into their hands; and lean days wore their bellies thin.
Answer:
The theme that is best revealed by this conflict is:
A. It is easy to uphold morals when one is not suffering.
Explanation:
<u>In this part of the epic poem The Odyssey, by Homer, the hero Odysseus and his men have landed on an island. Even though there is cattle in the island, Odysseus has been warned to not allow his men to kill and eat it, since this cattle is sacred. However, the men are only capable of upholding their morals and respecting the order to not kill the cattle while they are not suffering. As long as they have food and wine, the cattle is safe. But, once they have consumed their provisions, they forget about their morals and the warning, kill the cattle, and end up dead as a punishment from the gods.</u>
Answer: a) this is a verb phrase.
Explanation:
A verb phrase is that part of the sentence that contains a verb and it's dependants. The Dependent is usually a helping/auxillary verb that comes before the main verb to 'help' the verb make it's point.
Such verbs include, am, will, would, does, and could.
In this case the verb phrase would be, "will meet" with will being the Helping Verb and Meet being the main verb.
It is worthy of note that some times there will be more than one helping verb though such as 'had been' in "had been watching television"
Plays that personified virtues and vices were known as a morality play. It is a genre known in the Medieval and early Tudor theatrical entertainment. During the said time, this is still known as interlude.
An easy example can be Hamlet. Some directors of the play put him in the setting where the ghost is real and played by another actor. Others put him in a setting where the ghost is played by the Hamlet actor giving off the impression that he is insane. These are two different settings for the same character and create completely different images. Use this paragraph as a starting point for your essay.
