Answer:

Use an apostrophe +"s" ('s) to show that one person/thing owns or is a member of something.

Use an apostrophe after the "s" (s') at the end of a plural noun to show possession.

If a plural noun doesn't end in "s," add an apostrophe + "s" to create the possessive form.

mars1129 [50]

The correct answer is A. Home

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented one character describes Odysseus' hall or home; this description shows the place is important because the character refers to it as a "beautiful place"; also, the description shows the hall is unique "no hall like this See how one chamber grows out of another", and this will remain over time "no man at arms could break this gateway down". According to these ideas, this excerpt shows the importance of home in Greek society because in this context where The Odyssey was written home is described positively and with an admiration tone.

Bezzdna [24]
It's not clear where the paragraph break is between one and two, but I might be able to help you. The last option is incorrect, because all of the text relates which is why it's hard to determine where the paragraph break might be. Paragraph one does not offer a solution as it isn't until the end we know the cause of the dark day. While both paragraphs have at least one fact, paragraph one seemingly is full of guesses as to the cause of the dark day. This leaves the only correct option as the first one. The researchers decided to investigate the cause of the dark day, and then the results are reported.
