Answer:
Patience has its rewards
Explanation:
The above answer is the correct answer.
From the passage, we discover that Odyssey exhibited patience. An evidence from the states that "And ah! how long, with what desire, I waited! till, at the twilight hour..." This depicts that Odyssey was actually patient.
Then it was revealed what reward he got from being patient, "when one who hears and judges pleas in the marketplace all day between contentious men, goes home to supper, the long poles at last reared from the sea."
So, we discover that despite the tossing from the billow and what he experienced under a bough, he still exhibited patience. The theme best shown by the conflict is that patience has its rewards.
The correct answer is C. Immorality leads to suffering.
Within the novel, the theme of immorality and suffering can be seen most clearly in the case of Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom. Daisy and Tom are married, but are not in love with each other. Tom is cheating on Daisy with Myrtle (she died in an accident), Daisy is cheating on Tom with Gatsby (Gatsby dies after he is killed by Myrtle's wife), and nobody is happy in the end thanks to their immorality.
In the given choices above, the sentence that is punctuated in a correct way would be letter a. Abby collected rocks, sticks, and leaves on the hike; but Jim, I think. picked up only stones. They are two independent clauses that are appropriately separated by the semicolon.
