Answer and Explanation:
What reasons does Odysseus give for taking revenge on the suitors?
When he finally arrives back home to the island of Ithaca, Odysseus, a hero in the Trojan War, finds several suitors surrounding his house. Odysseus sees enough reason to take revenge on them in the fact that they have been pushing Odysseus's wife Penelope to marry one of them. The suitors are disgracing his home and his wife, in Odysseus's perspective.
Did Odysseus care more about what the suitors had stolen from him or about how they offended his honor?
Odysseus cared more about his honor. As a matter of fact, that was a common male trait in Ancient Greece, according to stories such as this one. Men were concerned with how the world perceived them, how famous and respected they were. Glory and admiration were extremely important. The way the suitors have been acting is a disgrace to Odysseus and his family. They are disrespecting his wife, son, and himself, acting as if Odysseus had no importance.

"Don't make any mistake, Dell," [Jim] said, "about me. I don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less" Jim's quote expresses the theme that?
Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the answer options, which are:
beauty disappears
love is a distraction
beauty is a priceless treasure
love outweighs a physical attraction
Answer:
love outweighs a physical attraction
Explanation:
In "The Gift of the Magi," by O. Henry, Jim knows that Della feels insecure because she does no longer have her beautiful long hair. For that reason, he appreciates her generosity and does not love her for the material possessions but for her true soul. Thus, he says that she is worthier than any haircut, shave or hair product.
Answer:
Love outweighs physical attraction. The theme refers to a message or lesson that a piece of writing conveys about a topic that could apply to other literature or to life itself. A text may have not only one theme but several and they are not explicitly stated in the text, meaning that the reader usually has to think them through.
Explanation:
Thus, one of the themes that we can take out from this excerpt is "Love outweighs physical attraction" as the Jim's quote talks about not caring about what the girl looks like in the outside as he will like her anyway, the physical features cannot change his feelings for her.

Read the passage from "How Should One Read a Book?”
Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning.
The reader can conclude that the passage comes from a(n)

Answer:
Essay
Explanation:
An essay is a well written piece of writing that mainly deals with a single subject.
The reader can conclude that the passage comes from an essay because it has a single clear central idea which is books and how we should read them and is making an argument which are important qualities of an essay.
Furthermore, the passage cannot be a biography because it is not talking about the life of someone, nor is it a myth as it discusses real issues, neither is it a play because there are no actors or a stage.
Answer:
The reader can conclude that the passage comes from a(n)

Cinque Terre
In the hills along the coast of the Italian Riviera rests the five villages of Cinque Terre. They rise into the terraced hills of Italian wine country and overlook the laconic waters of the Ligurian Sea. The name translates to “the five lands,” and each village distinguishes itself from the next in terms of its storybook atmosphere. The food is miraculous. The anchovies are caught fresh daily. The pesto sauce is made from local pine nuts and basil leaves. Bakeries filled with focaccia bread and farinata snacks make Cinque Terre famous the world over.
The scenic overlooks along the coast of Cinque Terre are breathtaking. The villages cling to the walls of green cliffs that plunge into the sea. Dolphins swim and chatter in the surf, hungry for attention from Cinque Terre’s many visitors. Local fisherman haul in nets filled with fresh fish and seafood that grace the tables of nearby cantinas and bistros. Visitors have the opportunity to hike from town to town, enjoying the countryside and romantic landscapes along the way.
Such a magical place to visit or live requires protection from development and pollution. The Italian government recently incorporated the five villages into a national park. It also passed laws to protect the fisheries and coastline. This allows the government to restrict future development that would ruin the landscape or change the unique culture of the locale. Because of the steps taken by the Italian government, Cinque Terre will remain a picturesque community to be enjoyed by visitors for many years to come.
How does paragraph 2 develop the idea that Cinque Terre deserved to become a national park?
A.
It establishes that the area is known for its fresh, local produce and seafood.
B.
It shows the beauty and the vitality of these yet unspoiled seaside communities.
C.
It suggests that it is a place where newlyweds go to spend their honeymoon.
D.
It implies that the villages are being destroyed by all the tourists who visit the area.
Answer:
The correct answer is, of course, ....
B. It shows the beauty and the vitality of these yet unspoiled seaside communities.

a. she died from the horse because it was to rough
b. her husband found her hand killed her with a shotgun and fled
c. the men she cheated with killed her because they would not stop

Faber recalls “newspapers dying like giant moths.” It echoes Beatty’s remark that burning pages are black butterflies. How does this imagery develop the theme? (Fahrenheit 451 Part 2)
Answer:
The power of metaphor
Explanation:
The metaphors newspapers dying = giant moths and
burning pages = black butterflies are skillfully used by Ray Bradbury to turn objects as books and newspapers into beings. These metaphors are phrases that in the subconscience of Montag linger on and help him to become conscious of the value of books and newspapers.
2. Both Witness to the Tragedy" and "Hope Survives in Search for Katrina's Missing' provide first person
descriptions of the impact of Hurricane Katrina ("First-person' means that a story is told using words
like and me instead of "he' or 'she.") Describe how each piece presents a first-person view of the
event. Then contrast the messages that the first person accounts provide in each text. Be sure to use specific details from the text in your response and to introduce your tooic., develop your topic,transitions,and provide a concluding statement.
"Witness to the Tragedy" is a first-person account of the destruction that Hurricane Katrina caused in certain places, shortly after its passage and how people are living in the rubble and flooding while waiting for help. The account is very distressing, because it shows people trapped in their homes, swimming in an attempt to save themselves, as well as the situation of animals and the nature of the attacked place.
"Hope Survives in Search for Katrina's Missing", while also being a first-person account, presents a different account. In this text we present the search for people who were missing after the passage of Hurricane Katrina. This search has been going on for many years and although it shows people anguished for not knowing if their missing loved ones are well, it is a report that causes less anxiety in the reader, because it does not present people at serious risk of life, with chances of drowning or being stuck in rubble.
Explain the significance of Josephine Baker’s contribution in the fight against racism.
Answer:
The March on Washington helped create a new national understanding of the problems of racial and economic injustice. For one, it brought together demonstrators from around the country to share their respective encounters with labor discrimination and state-sponsored racism.
Explanation: The March on Washington helped create a new national understanding of the problems of racial and economic injustice. For one, it brought together demonstrators from around the country to share their respective encounters with labor discrimination and state-sponsored racism. With activists from New York City, the Mississippi Delta, or Cambridge, Md., all describing their various encounters with police brutality, labor discrimination, or housing deterioration, it became very difficult to cast racial segregation as an exclusively Southern problem.
Through the mass participation of organized labor, students, religious leaders, and un-unionized domestic workers, the march also re-articulated for national and international audiences the extent to which racism and economic exploitation remained intertwined. In a planning document co-authored by Bayard Rustin, the march's chief organizers explained that, "integration in the fields of education, housing, transportation, and public accommodations will be of limited extent and duration so long as fundamental economic inequality along racial lines persists." The ability of over 200,000 marchers to organizer under such a message—peacefully and with such forceful spokespeople as Martin Luther King, Jr.—forced party politicians and more moderate political operators to respect the ability of the American Left to make clearly stated demands and generate mass support. In addition, the march helped to provide local activists with the moral authority to push back against less progressive forces in their respective home states, making 1963 a critical year, and the march itself a critical event in the transformation of local political regime around the country.
