English
1 answer:
son4ous [18]3 years ago
5 0

Among the options, the one that most closely shows the meaning of "odious" as used in paragraph 80 of "A Christmas Carol" is:

A. Hateful

In general, the adjective "odious" is used to refer to something or someone who is unpleasant, dislikable, or repulsive.

In the story "A Christmas Carol," the word "odious" appears in the following manner:

<em>"It should be Christmas Day, I am sure," said she, "on which one drinks the health of such an </em><u><em>odious</em></u><em>, stingy, hard, unfeeling man as Mr. Scrooge."</em>

Here, the word is being used to talk about the main character, Mr. Scrooge, who is quite a hateful man.

Hateful not only means "filled with hatred" but also "very unpleasant". As we can see, it works as a synonym of "odious".

With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option.

The complete question with options is as follows:

What does the term "odious" most closely mean as used in paragraph 80?

A. Hateful

B. Old and frail

C. Amusing

D. Foul-smelling and unclean

What does this interaction reveal about Antony? Select
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: Antony uses people to get what he wants and then dismisses them.

Antony is not as trustworthy as he seemed in the speech at Caesar's funeral.

Explanation:

Here's the missing interaction:

ANTONY. This is a slight, unmeritable man,

Meet to be sent on errands. Is it fit,

The three-fold world divided, he should stand

One of the three to share it?

OCTAVIUS. So you thought him,

And took his voice who should be pr.icked to die,

In our black sentence and proscription.

ANTONY. Octavius, I have seen more days than you.

And though we lay these honors on this man.

To ease ourselves of divers sland'rous loads,

He shall but bear them as the a.ss bears gold,

To groan and sweat under the business,

Either led or driven as we point the way;

And having brought our treasure where we will,

Then take we down his load, and turn him off,

Like to the empty a.ss, to shake his ears and graze in commons.

The interaction revealed that "Antony uses people to get what he wants and then dismisses them" and that "Antony is not as trustworthy as he seemed in the speech at Caesar's funeral".

From the story, we can deduce that Anthony only wanted to use Lepidus after which he'll later be dumped. Anthony questioned his ability to rule.
