<u>Part A: </u>

The central idea developed by Emerson in "Self-Reliance" is <em>A. To live authentic lives, people should practice nonconformity.</em>

 

  • According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, nonconformity means relying on self-judgment, self-choices, and enjoying freedom from institutional and societal influences.

 

  • Self-reliance should triumph over every pursuit and can only be enjoyed by one who listens to their inner voice without allowing the world to quench the essence of the message.

 

<u>Part B:</u>

The detail from the text that best reflects the central idea in <u>Part A</u> is <em>D. "Insist on yourself, never imitate,"</em> in the words of Emerson.

 

  • For Emerson, one who imitates makes a caricature of himself and does not value his self-worth. Emerson insists that everybody should highly rate their unique gifts and make something great out of them.

 

Thus, for Emerson, a nonconformist is what every achiever should be.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The legend of “Judgment of Paris” was believed to have started the Trojan War because the award for Paris of Troy would be the most beautiful woman, Helene, wife of the king Meleanus.

 

The legend begins at the celebration of the marriage of Peleus and Thetis (parents of Achilles), to which goddess Eris wasn’t invited. This was a great offence to Eris, so she decided to get her revenge by dividing gods with simple beauty contest. This beauty contest was true representation of the pride and narcissism of the goddesses. Eris brought one apple and said that only the fairest one. The goddesses who claimed this apple were Athena, Aphrodite and Hera. Because Zeus couldn’t decide, they decided that Paris of Troy should be the one to judge the contest. Hera offered to make him king of Europe and Asia, Athena offered wisdom and skill in war, and Aphrodite offered the world's most beautiful woman – Helen, wife of the king Meleanus. Paris accepted the Aphrodite’s offer. Paris has received Helen, but he also received the enmity of other gods, especially Athena and Hera. After this, king Meleanus began the war to retrieve his wife, which resulted in seven years of Trojan War. There is the brief allusion to the “Judgment  of Paris” in the Iliad  in lines 24.25–30.
