After reading the passage about Tantalus, we can conclude the following about him:

Tantalus most likely wished he had friends.

<h3>Who is Tantalus?</h3>
  • Tantalus is a Greek mythology character. As a matter of fact, it is from his name that the verb "tantalize" is derived. Tantalus was the son of the god Zeus with a nymph and, for that reason, he was friends with the gods and allowed in heaven.
  • However, Tantalus used his access to heaven to sin against the gods. He stole nectar and ambrosia from them to give to humans. He also killed his own son and served him for the gods to eat to test the gods.
  • For that reason, he was punished by being imprisoned in Hades, a mythological hell, where he could not reach the water and the food that were right in front of him.

<h3>What can we infer from the passage?</h3>
  • The passage says that the night Tantalus spent with fellow mortals was glorious. He was happy because he felt as if he had actual friends. With that piece of information, we can infer that Tantalus wished he has friends, that he craved this sort of intimacy with other mortals.

Explain how Google was able to overcome its competitors
natka813 [3]
Google overcame its competitors because the developers knew how to market and knew how to make a product that consumers wanted. In the early days of the internet, search engines where filled with adds, links, tools like calculators and calendars. While having links to Facebook or Reddit, and having the calculators and calendars seemed helpful, it crowded the page. Those search engines had too much going on to the point it became unhelpful. Google understood that people wanted a search engine that had its purpose and did it well. It's simple, does it's job, and it doesn't overwhelm the consumer when they want to look something up.
Think of it this way, if you're trying to look up a recipe, do you want to go to the page that had 20+ other links and flashy colors and pop up adds, or a simple search bar that will take you right where you need to go with no distractions?
