The main reason why Odysseus orders music and dancing is make it seem like a wedding celebration is happening, but he also wants to reward his men.
I believe the correct answer is "she was
careful now to be always clean and tidy".
In this passage from the novel “From Heidi” written
by German author Johanna Spyri, the phrase from which most directly indicates a
recent influence on Heidi's life is "she was careful now to be always
clean and tidy". That there was a recent influence in this phrase is shown
by using the word “now” which can be interpreted as “from this day on”.
It is important to trust your instinct.
In the passage the speaker is talking about how he feels as though he is going to disappear. He says that his instinct is telling him "that the end is sure and must be early." This best supports the theme that it is important to trust your instinct. The passage does not say anything about appearances, good, or evil so these options are incorrect.
