Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves, in
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

Explanation:

<u>Paraphrasing is the act of restating any given statement or passage in one's own words and not using the words used in the original text.</u> This is used/ done to achieve more clarity and also to enable a different explanation of the same text.

In Homer's "The Odyssey", the story revolves around the journey of Odysseus and his men on their way back home to Ithaca. The paraphrase of the given passage by a student provides good detail about how Odysseus describes his home. But at the same time, <u>if the student added the detail about how Odysseus holds his home close to his heart (</u><em><u>"I shall not see on earth a place more dear"</u></em><u>), this will strengthen the paraphrase.</u>

Thus, the <u>key detail that should be added to strengthen the student's paraphrasing is the second option.</u>

John paid $34 for two algebra and three geometry books. He paid $36 for three algebra and two geometry books. What is the cost o
Vitek1552 [10]
Let the price of single algebra book = x
and the price of geometry book = y

Then equation (1) = 2x+3y=34
3y= (34 - 2x)
y= (34 - 2x)/3

And equation (2) = 3x + 2y=36

put value of y in equation (2)

3x + 2 (34-2x)/3= 36
9x + 2 (34-2x)=108
9x + 68 - 4x=108
5x=40
x=8
put x=8 in equation ( 1 )

2(8) + 3y= 34
16+3y=34
3y=18
y=6
Hence, price of algebra book = 8$ and price of geometry book=6$
