Answer:

C. Apostrophe

Explanation:

Apostrophe:

Apostrophe is a figure of speech by using which a writer or speaker addresses an absent/dead person as if he/she were present, or an inanimate object or idea as if it were a living thing and listening to him/her (speaker).

Examples:  

"O wild West Wind"

"O, my cell phone, you were so dear to me."

Hyperbole: It is an exaggerated statement not to be taken literally.

Examples:

"The sun came just meters away from the earth."

"She would conquer the entire universe with her smile"

Simile:

It is a figure of speech in which the writer makes comparison between two things which may have some relation but are different. Simile always uses comparison words such as, like, as, similar to etc.

Examples:

"He is as brave as a lion"

"Life is like a dream"

Litotes:

It is an understatement in which a positive statement is made by negating its opposite. Or use of double negatives to make a positive statement.

Examples:

"It was not one of my best days" to mean It was one of my bad days."

"The books was not bad" to mean the book was good."

what cultural values are shown in the speech odysseus gave after he had blinded and then escape the cyclops?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The belief that Zeus and the other gods are supreme over all things and that helping strangers, extending hospitality to the guests was a popular belief in Greek custom which Odysseus is referring to in his speech.

Explanation:

Homer's epic "The Odyssey" is the story of the protagonist Odysseus and his journey back home to Ithaca after the Battle of Troy. The book contains the numerous obstacles and encounters he had during his journey back.

The given excerpt is from Book IX of the epic where Odysseus and his men had stolen food and sheep from the Cyclops Polyphemus. The Greeks believe in the custom of extending hospitality to their guests, even strangers. So, in this speech by Odysseus, he alluded to the <u>issue of hospitality where instead of extending help and service to the strangers</u> who had come to his home, he (Polyphemus) ate them and hurt them. This is the cultural value that is shown in the given excerpt.
