Select the correct text in the passage. Which line in the passage is the climax of the story? (Mrs. Jones is busy cooking in the

kitchen while her eldest son, Jake, is having breakfast. She looks pale and tired. The kitchen is messy. She soon finishes her cooking and starts washing the dishes.) JAKE: Mom, this toast is burnt. Make me another one. MRS. JONES: Just finish it Jake. I don’t have the time now. I have a ton of chores to finish before heading off to work. JAKE: But, mom! I can't have burnt toast. Make me another one, or I'm going to school on an empty stomach. (Mrs. Jones sighs and makes him another piece of toast. Jake quickly eats it and walks away without thanking her. Mrs. Jones continues with her work. She hears her daughter yelling.) MRS. JONES: What is it, Clara? CLARA: Mom, come have a look at what Mattie has done. (Mrs. Jones wipes her soapy hands and walks into the living room. She is stunned when she sees the white walls with drawings all over them. She finds her youngest son, Mattie, behind the couch, busy making a drawing on the wall. Without bothering to notice what he is drawing, she drags him out from behind the couch.) MRS. JONES: Mattie, look at what you've done. How could you make such a mess? You've ruined the walls. MATTIE: But, mom, I was just . . . MRS. JONES: Be quiet, Mattie. Day after day I have to look after the three of you, and I never get any appreciation. And now you've gone and scribbled all over the walls. Do you know how long it'll take me to clean up this mess? MATTIE: I'm sorry, mom, I didn’t mean to. MRS. JONES: Sorry doesn't change the fact that you've made a big mess. (Mattie looks like he is about to cry.) MRS. JONES: Don't cry, Mattie. Crying is not the solution to our problems. MATTIE: I'm sorry. I'll clean it up right away, mom. MRS. JONES: Yes, you better. Now go and get some soap and a scrubber and get to cleaning. (Mattie looks discouraged as he leaves the room. Mrs. Jones is still furious as she watches him go. She then turns to the wall and her expression changes into one of shock.) MRS. JONES: (to herself) What? It’s a drawing of Mattie and me, and the words "I love you, mom" are written below it. (Mattie returns to the room with the soap and scrubber. She looks at him with tear-filled eyes and hugs him tightly to her as he reaches her.) MRS. JONES: I'm sorry too, Mattie.

"MRS. JONES: Be quiet, Mattie. Day after day I have to look after the three of you, and I never get any appreciation. And now you've gone and scribbled all over the walls."

Explanation:

I believe this answer is the most logical one because as you can tell, MRS. JONES is angry and upset that she gets no appreciation. Sorry if this is incorrect.

Based on the excerpt, what conclusion can readers make about the relationship between Neptune and Ulysses? A) It is loving and s
earnstyle [38]

The excerpt comes from The Odyssey By Homer. The Odyssey is a Greek epic poem formed by 24 parts attributed to Homer, it is considered to be the sequel of the Iliad. It is supposed to have been written in VIII B.C

It narrates the return of the Greek hero Odyssey or Ulises in Roman culture, to his home from the Trojan Wars. The story tells the adventures of Odyssey spending ten years on the war plus ten more years in his return home, at the Ithaca Island. His son Telemachus and his wife Penelope have to withstand a group of men trying to marry Penelope but at the same time consuming the house’s riches. Odyssey finally gets back at his home disguised as an old man so nobody would be suspicious of him and would try to stop him. He kills all the men trying to marry his rightful wife. The best weapon that Odyssey has is his intelligence, courage and the help of the Goddess Athene.

From the excerpt of the scene involving Neptune and Ulysses, Odyssey, one can conclude that their relationship is:

B) It is hostile and based on pointed dislike.

You did not provide the excerpt but I know quite well the Odyssey:

The reason for Neptune to hate Odyssey was that during his voyage Ulysses and his men landed on an island belonging to the Cyclops Polyphemus, and Polyphemus was Neptune’s son. Ulysses tricked and blinded Polyphemus to escape. In anger, Polyphemus called on his father. Because Neptune was god of the seas, and Ulysses and his men were sea-farers, Neptune was eager to punish Odyssey for mutilating his son.
