Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

Their secret! as she heard it told, her knees

grew tremulous and weak, her heart failed her.

With eyes brimming tears she ran to him,

throwing her arms around his neck, and kissed him

Which theme do these lines support?

Good leaders show personal responsibility.

Overconfidence can lead one to danger.

Help often comes to individuals who work hard.

Love and family make a homecoming worthwhile.

Answer:

The theme supported by those lines is:

Love and family make a homecoming worthwhile.

Explanation:

The lines we are analyzing here describe the moment when the hero of the epic poem "The Odyssey", Odysseus, finally arrives back home. After fighting in the Trojan war, Odysseus's return home is delayed by several setbacks. After infuriating the gods with his pride, Odysseus is constantly facing death, monsters, witches, and challenges. However, he does not give up. The love he has for his wife and son is too great for him to just quit. Their love for him makes it all worthwhile. In fact, upon being recognized (Odysseus had been disguised as a beggar by the goddess Athena), he is welcomed with tears and expressions of love that are the greatest reward one could hope for.

How does the authors’ choice of hungry to describe the mills best support the claim?

IceJOKER [234]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is as follows:

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. In Brazil, when word came that the harvest was about to begin, a priest came to bless the mill—and the workers. The blessing was like the whistle at the start of a race, for now everything sped up. Slaves were given long, sharp machetes, which would be their equipment—but for some also their weapons—until the harvest was done. The cutters worked brutal, seemingly endless shifts during the harvest—for the hungry mills crushed cane from four in the afternoon to ten the next morning, stopping only in the midday heat. Slaves had to make sure there was just enough cane to feed the turning wheels during every one of those eighteen hours.

Answer:

The author's choice of hungry to describe the mills support the claim best:

A. by showing the relentless pace that enslaved people had to keep during the harvest.

Explanation:

The mills functioned for eighteen long hours. It was as if they were hungry, meaning they had to be constantly fed. By conveying that idea, authors show us how brutally the slaves had to work. They were not to rest, because the mills did not rest. They had to keep on feeding cane to the mills, relentlessly, until harvest was over. By saying that the mills were hungry, authors create this monster-like image of a creature whose need is imperative. And the slaves were the ones who were supposed to care for that need in a most unjust and painful manner.

Which phrase is an example of an oxymoron in this passage?

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

"Loving Hate"

Explanation:

this is a copy from the dictionary

An oxymoron is a self-contradicting word or group of words (as in Shakespeare's line from Romeo and Juliet, "Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!"). A paradox is a statement or argument that seems to be contradictory or to go against common sense, but that is yet perhaps still true—for example, "less is more."
