Answer:

Yes, Odysseus' actions in dealing with the suitors are consistent with his actions in earlier episodes of the epic.

Explanation:

Odysseus is the main character in the epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer. A typical epic hero, Odysseus is clever, strong, and brave. After fighting in the Trojan War, Odysseus takes several years to return home. Some gods are angry at him for his arrogance, so they make his journey more difficult. However, Odysseus has the goddess Athena by his side, helping him.

When Odysseus finally gets to Ithaca, his island, he finds out his wife has been putting up with several suitors. Those men refuse to leave, trying to force Penelope to marry one them. To deal with those men, Odysseus is disguised by Athena to look like a beggar. Then, with the help of his own son, he slaughters the suitors.

Those actions are consistent with Odysseus behaviors and decisions in earlier episodes of the poem. As a matter of fact, he almost always resorts to cunning and killing to solve his problems. He did the same thing to the Cyclops (a one-eyed giant) who trapped him and his men in his cave. He got the giant drunk, and blinded him. Since the Cyclops had been told by Odysseus that his name was Nobody, Odysseus easily got away with what he had done, for the Cyclops kept saying that "Nobody" had hurt him. Odysseus is clearly a smart man who will come up with creative solutions to defeat his enemies.

Choose the correct pronoun to complete the sentence.
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: In this case, both pronouns can be used to complete the sentence as both terms grammatically make sense, however whom is the prefered pronoun.  

Explanation:

The difference between “who” and “whom” is the same as the difference between “I” and “me;” “he” and “him;” “she” and “her;” etc. Who, like other pronouns such as I he, and she, is a subject. So, it is the person performing the action of the verb. On the other hand, whom, acts like me, him, and her in a sentence. It is the object. Therefore, it is the person to/about/for whom the action is being done.

But what does that mean? “Who,” the subjective pronoun, is the doer of an action. For example, “That’s the girl who scored the goal.” It is the subject of “scored” because the girl was doing the scoring. Then, “whom,” as the objective pronoun, receives the action. For instance, “Whom do you like best?” It is the object of “like”.

Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence.

Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.

Hog Wild Over Video Games by Moesha Harper What can the reader infer from the information in lines 6 through 10 A. The pigs only
Stells [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Line 6 through 10 tells about an experiment run by an animal researcher in which pigs were trained to play video games. Line 9-10 of the passage goes as: <em>"...Curtis (the researcher) said the pigs got the point within minutes, learning at as rate as fast as chimpanzees." </em>He compared the learning speed between pigs and chimpanzees, which implies that chimpanzees were also trained to play the same games as pigs and even before pigs.

In addition:

A is incorrect as <em>candy </em>was not mentioned in the lines.

B is incorrect as the animal researcher worked with pigs <em>over a period of several weeks</em>, not years.

C is incorrect as the game was not described in the lines so the matching game was unknown.
