Explanation:
The sentence that best connects the two ideas is the first one: The park benches need a new coat of paint, so we should volunteer to paint them.
This is a complex sentence since it includes two clauses: an independent clause and a dependent clause.<u> They have been joined by means of the conjunction "so" to indicate that benches sould be painted as a result of knowing that they need a new coat of paint</u>. <u>"So" indicates a cause-effect relationship</u>. On the other hand, the other option do not make any sense since the clauses have been joined by "however", an adverb that is used to indicate contradiction, and "although", a subordinating conjunction that connects ideas that contrast. <u>The clauses contained in this sentence do not present ideas that contrast nor express a contradiction</u>; therefore, a conjunction that indicates cause-effect relationship such as "so" must be used.
Answer:
Odysseus first went to Eumaeus's hut to hide out, as ordered by Athene and find out any information about his household and kingdom before he regains his rightful place.
Explanation:
Once back in Ithaca, Odysseus was ordered by Athene to hide out at the hut of the swineherd Eumaeus. Disguised as a poor beggar, he inquired about the state of affairs of the kingdom and also whether his previous subjects are still loyal to him or not. By knowing about the current situation, he was able to plan his actions on when he goes back to the palace. And through Eumaeus, he came to know about the suitors that had besieged the palace and the queen, his wife Penelope. Also, not knowing that the poor traveler was indeed his former master, Eumaeus began narrating about the good things of Odysseus and criticizes the actions and wrongful deeds of the suitors. This is an indirect proof of his testament of loyalty to Odysseus, even though he did not know the true identity of his guest.
