English

Answer:

After escaping, Odysseus continues to taunt Polyphemus and brags about his exploits.

Explanation:

The term "hubris" refers to the quality of a person in having or exhibiting extreme pride and ambition in his/her own actions and abilities. This personality quality of a person, in the over-confidence of a person, will oftentimes lead to an inescapable downfall later on.

In the epic "The Odyssey" by Homer, hubris is one character trait of Odysseus. One such example is when they were on the island of Polyphemus. After 'stealing' from Polyphemus, Odysseus lost many of his men to the cyclops. But despite that, he brags about his 'loot' and even taunts the one-eyes monster. He knows that it was against the wish of the gods to get involved or 'disturb' the cyclops, and that 'looting' a demi-god was against the rules, Odysseus couldn't help but brag about it, his bravery and ability in escaping the clutches of the demi-god.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.

Answer:

A) She uses comparisons to show the speaker’s connection to the snake .

Explanation:

Well, in the poem, she sees a snake slithering through the grass. With that view, she remembers a time when she was younger and interacted with a snake:

"A narrow fellow in the grass...

------------------------------------------------

Yet when a child, and barefoot,

I more than once, at morn..."

Dickinson also said how the snake seemed scary to a lot of people, but in reality it was not:

"But never met this fellow,

Attended or alone,

Without a tighter breathing,

And zero at the bone.
