Answer:

Physical Strength

Explanation:

Odysseus, as a noble Greek warrior, is expected to possess great physical strength, and, in a number of places throughout The Odyssey, Odysseus displays feats of strength far in excess of anything anyone else could do. When he returns at long last to Ithaca, disguised as a beggar, he accepts Penelope's challenge to shoot an arrow through the gaps of twelve axes lined in a row. But this is not the real test of strength; it's the fact that Odysseus is able to string the bow in the first place that shows this. No other man could possibly hope to perform this great feat, and all the suitors fail.

Stabbing out the eye of the Cyclops Polyphemus was another example of Odysseus's enormous strength. He uses a large stake which he needs to lift up all by himself before driving it deep into Polyphemus's eye. And that takes some doing. Also, Odysseus, at the prompting of Tiresias the blind seer, lifts a huge wooden oar and carries it over his shoulder, walking so far inland that people won't know what it is. They'll think it's a winnowing fan. Odysseus can then make a sacrifice to Poseidon, god of the sea and cause of most of Odysseus's trials and tribulations.

Much of what Odysseus does in The Odyssey shows how clever and crafty he is. However, he is one of the most heroic soldiers of the Trojan War. Had he not been physically strong, he could not have held such respect among his men.

Hope this helps, have a great Wednesday!

Answer:

it intensifies the heroic stature of the subject and to serve as decoration.

Explanation:

for example “…its crackling roots blazed and hissed – as a blacksmith plunges a glowing ax or adze in an ice-cold bath and the metal screeches steam and its temper hardens – that's the iron's strength – so the eye of Cyclops sizzled round that stake.”

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Education should not be limited to those who have access to a laptop and a reliable internet connection. Everyone benefits from education. Students are one of the most vulnerable groups when it comes to mental health problems. Social interaction is essential to the well-being of young people, who are still developing. Recent research shows that sudden isolation is causing depression in 60% of college students. Clearly, academic burdens are not appropriate at this time. Many students also report that their living conditions are not conducive to learning. It is not something that everyone has. Academic pressures can have a negative impact on young people's mental health. Especially those in financial difficulty. As a result, mental health must be one of the issues being investigated by the Department of Education.

<em>I hope this helps you</em>

Which source could best help answer the research question "Does cutting art and music programs impact high school students’ academic success?” The question of the value of art and music programs in Google will help to answer this question.

Music is therapeutic and inspirational and can motivate students to strive for more academic excellence.

In at least 125 words, explain the differences between naturally acquiring English and mastering Standard English. Focus on thre
attashe74 [19]

Learning natural English is a skill common to any individual living in an English-speaking country. This English is learned through daily contact with people who speak English. With this we can conclude that natural English is learned, by us, since our birth through living with our family. Thus, we can say that this Englishman has an informal, relaxed air and without many rules and guidelines for its use. We can use it talking to our friends, or, in common everyday situations.

Standard English, however, refers to the standard, cultured and grammatically correct way of speaking and writing in English. We can only learn this type of English through classes and reading texts that cover this type of language. It is important to learn it because formal situations, social events, academic events and even living with people in higher status than ours, requires that this type of language be used.
