Answer:

D. Screen-Time is harmful to the brain

Explanation:

An argumentative text, or argumentative essay, uses facts and evidence to support its claim.

Option A - "I like to take long, fast bike rides." It is not an argument. It is simply stating something someone enjoys. There may be evidence to support it, however it is not something one would write an argument about.

Option B - "My dog is the best dog in the world." Everyone who has a dog is going to think theirs is the best. There is no fact or evidence to support this claim.

Option C - "Walking to school is fun." This is simply a statement of someone's opinion. It could be an argument, but no one would win as it is an opinion; one person might enjoy walking to school while another doesn't.

What does this excerpt most suggest about the beliefs of the ancient Greeks?

tekilochka [14]

After reading the excerpt from "The Odyssey," we can say the author suggests the following about the beliefs of the ancient Greeks:

D. They believed that the gods often punished people for acting badly.

<h3>How do gods act in "The Odyssey"?</h3>

Gods from the ancient Greek mythology are often interfering in the lives of humans in the epic poem "The Odyssey." They can offer help, but they also frequently punish humans for their bad actions.

<h3>How about the excerpt?</h3>

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the god Zeus is punishing Odysseus and his men with a terrible storm. The men soon begin to fear for their life, until Zeus's fury finally fades.

As a matter of fact, Odysseus and his men are often being punished by the gods, especially Poseidon, the god of the seas. Whenever they disobey or challenge the gods, they meet with hardship and even death.

With that in mind, we can choose letter D as the best option concerning the ancient Greek's beliefs.

This is the excerpt the question is about:

Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north

a storm against the ships, and driving veils

of squall moved down like night on land and sea.

The bows went plunging at the gust; sails

cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.

We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,

unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:

then two long days and nights we lay offshore

worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,

until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.
