Read the excerpt from "Persues."

Each guest, as was customary, brought a gift for the bride-to-be, except Perseus alone. He had nothing he could give. He was young and proud and keenly mortified. He stood up before them all and did exactly what the King had hoped he would do, declared that he would give him a present better than any there. He would go off and kill Medusa and bring back her head as his gift. Nothing could have suited the King better. No one in his senses would have made such a proposal. Medusa was one of the Gorgons.

Which statement best describes a characteristic of a Greek hero displayed by Perseus?

He is greatly admired for his beauty and youth.
He makes a promise to a king that he cannot keep.
He has too much pride and confidence in his abilities.
He is poor and alone with nothing to offer as a gift.

Answer:

He has too much pride and confidence in his abilities.

Explanation:

Perseus as described in the excerpt was young, confident and proud being. The fact that he had nothing material to offer before the king but openly promised to bring be for the king Medusa's head was something no one but only a confident, and proud hero would pledge to deliver. Therefore, from the options given,

Option A is incorrect as the passage didn't talk about the beauty of the young man.

Though it was stated that he had nothing to give, but been poor and alone does not describe an heroic behavior.

Similarly, an unkept promise isn't an heroic quality.

Therefore, his pride and confidence are the heroic qualities Perseus demonstrated.

Answer:

My guy has to much pride in his abilities

READ THE COMPREHENSION GIVEN BELOW AND ANSWER THE QUESTION...


the school principal is considering whether or not to open the study center before school starts. Below is an argument for why this should be done.
The school’s study center should be available for student use before school as well as in the afternoon. Some students are dropped off before school starts and must wait outside until the doors are unlocked. Instead, students could be studying in the center during that time. It certainly is safer inside the school than it is outside. Also, opening the center early would allow students to get out of the cold. Then students could have a little fun before school starts.



1. Which reason to open the center before school starts will be LEAST likely to convince the principal?

a) Students could study instead of just waiting outside.
b) Students would be safer inside than they are outside.
c) Students could have a little fun before school starts.
d) Students would have a place to get out of the cold.
e) Parents would feel better about dropping kids off before school starts.

read the passage and answer the given question below

The house I grew up in was crowded. I had to share a bedroom with my three brothers and two of my cousins. In total, there were 13 of us in the same house. And that made it feel like I was constantly surrounded.
During the fall, winter, and spring, I would leave the house for an even more crowded school. We had a minimum of 30 students in each class, and two students had to share a locker. Then, I’d catch a bus home with 60 other students. There was hardly a second in a day that I was not in a swarm of people, unfortunately. Being somewhat shy by nature, crowds did not agree with me.
That’s why I loved the summer so much. In summer, I did not have to go to school, and I also did not have to stay home. Instead, I could go out anywhere in the city and find time alone.
My brothers and cousins would usually go someplace to play with 10 or 11 other kids. Not me. My favorite place to go in the summer was the park. It would be crowded, of course, but I could always find a place to sit by myself.
I would enter the park from the west side and make my way as deep into it as I could get. There, in the middle of the park, I could always find a bench isolated from the others. Or a tree that was so shaded as to create a sort of nook for me to hide in. Or even a spot on the grass in the middle of a wide field but hundreds of feet away from the nearest person.
There, in those spots, I would get lost in the pages of a novel or book of poetry. It was in those summers that I first learned to love the written word. And I know that had I not been able to find that solitude in the middle of the bustling crowds, I would not be the man I am today. For I would not have ever discovered the joys of reading, and with them, the joys of writing.
To read is to connect with another person. And yet it is a connection one must make in private and isolation. So without isolation, ironically, for me there would have been no community.

In the following passage from Great Astronomers by Robert Stewall Ball, the author states that he will trace the developments in astronomy
from the time of Ptolemy to the nineteenth century. Based on the content and style of the excerpt, what kind of audience did Ball primarily have
in mind when he was writing this book?
The history of astronomy thus becomes inseparable from the history of the great men to whose labours its development is due. In the
ensuing chapters we have endeavoured to sketch the lives and the work of the great philosophers, by whose labours the science of
astronomy has been created. We shall commence with Ptolemy, who, after the foundations of the science had been laid by Hipparchus,
gave to astronomy the form in which it was taught throughout the Middle Ages. We shall next see the mighty revolution in our conceptions
of the universe which are associated with the name of Copernicus. We then pass to those periods illumined by the genius of Galileo and
Newton, and afterwards we shall trace the careers of other more recent discoverers, by whose Industry and genlus the boundaries of
human knowledge have been so greatly extended. Our history will be brought down late enough to include some of the illustrious
astronomers who laboured in the generation which has just passed away.
OA
students specializing in the study of astronomy
OB. people with a casual interest in astronomy
OC. scientists and mathematicians working with astronomers
OD. geologists and cartographers
