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>
It's simile. It compares the dog to a bulldozer to make it more dramatic.
Answer: The effect of the point of view is A) the reader gets direct advice on the process. Moreover, the author's purpose is A) to explain how to get around meat restrictions. Finally, the point of view that the author uses in this passage is B) Second person.
Explanation: The point of view that the author uses in this passage is second person as<u> he is directly addressing the reader.</u> What indicates this is the <u>use of the second person pronoun "you"</u>. As a result,<u> the reader receives direct advice from the writer</u>, which is mainly expressed in the first sentence ("If you are really determined to eat meat all week, it is possible to buy a license to do so"). Therefore, the advice is the effect of the second person point of view. As regards the author's purpose, <u>he intends to explain the reader how to eat meat despite the restrictions</u> set on the consumption of this type of food. This is also expressed in the first sentence of the passage.
