The definition of straw man argument is to make a argument that wasn't presented, so you're right the answer would be A.
The correct answer is ...make sure they are not touching each other...
Explanation:
This excerpt explains the processes yeomen followed to grow and store apples in England. About storage, the passage specifies only "spotless apples" should be selected and yeomen had to "make sure they are not touching each other". This specific detail shows one bruised apple can spoil all the other apples if this is in contact with other apples. Due to this, yeomen avoided putting apples together or storing spoiled apples. According to this, from the options, the detail that supports the idea one bad apple can spoil the others is "make sure they are not touching each other."
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>
I think it’s Either A or B
It was Joshua. Hope this helps.
