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>
'The sweet, smoky scent of toasted marshmallows found her nose as she licked melted chocolate from her fingertips." This is your answer as it explicitly states the sense of smell.

Answer:
Jim lifted the heavy bag of concrete because he was as strong as an ox.
Explanation:
It is the fourth one because it is the only sentence describing someone/thing as strong. (as an ox.)
The first one has nothing to do with being strong.
The second one would be correct if it was "The boat was as strong as an ox as it persevered through the rough waters.", but since that isn't the sentence, it wouldn't work.
The third one is incorrect because if the toy was made to be as strong as an ox, why is it breaking into tiny pieces?
Therefore, the fourth one is right. :)
