Answer:
By describing their neglect of orders
Explanation:
The first line of the excerpt shows the order that was given to the Odysseus men. "but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly! Out to sea again!' ". But the succeeding lines reveal that instead of the Odysseus men to obey this order given to them, they were busy feasting and merrying. They were drinking wine and feasting on sheep and cattle. The writer described them as "mutinous" and "fools" because of this act.
By the time they were engaging in this careless acts, the fugitives were calling to arms the force of Circones.
Emerson said that "To be great is to be misunderstood." He also said that a great person constantly changes. He cited examples of great men like Pythagoras, Socrates, Jesus Christ, Luther, Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. A great individual must also not violate one's nature even though that person may not be understood by the society.

The rhetorical device that <span>is used in this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The Danger of Lying in Bed" is anecdote (assuming that your options are allusion, rhetorical question, anecdote, and logic).
There is no allusion to any other text here, so that is not the correct answer. There are also no rhetorical questions - questions that don't need an answer because it is implied. I guess there is logic, but it is not a rhetorical device really. So, I'd choose anecdote, because an anecdote is a short, interesting story from someone's life, as is the case here.</span>
