The Cyclops is compared to Zeus because of his size. The Cyclops is compared to Zeus because of his power. The Cyclops is compared to a mast, or flagpole, because of his surrender.

The correct answer is the last one, the cyclops is compared to a mast because of his size. The comparison means that even laid down the cyclops standed out among his sheep, like a mast does at sea. As for the first two options, the cyclops is not compared to Zeus in any moment.

How does Virginia Woolf use comparisons to persuade her
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

She uses comparisons about what society would be like if a woman were in the place of a great historical figure known to all.

Explanation:

In "A Room Of One’s Own" Vírginia reflects on the place and value of women in society. It shows that since the beginning, women have suffered limitations due to the pressures they suffer and that have shaped the society where we live. She says that women are limited by family, economy, politics and society's expectations. To exemplify this, he makes a comparison between Shakespeare and a possible brother as talented as he is. While Shakespeare was being exalted for his works, his sister was forbidden to study, write and have the same recognition as his brother, due to the pressure placed on the woman.

Need help. first to answer the Question gits branly bun needs to know how
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Aphorism

Explanation:

Anagram is a word, phrase, or name formed by rearranging the letters of another. I don't think this is it because they is no words that were rearranged.

Aphorism is a pithy observation that contains a general truth. This could be true!

Analogy is a comparison between two things. This is not it because there are not two things being compared.

Allusion is an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference. This is not it because this sentence is explicit meaning it is very straight foward.

Out of all four of those... I would go with Aphorism.
