5. What is revealed about Oedipus' personality when he threatens to torture the Shepherd? Pull
a quote to back up your answer.
Answer:
A messenger enters, looking for Oedipus. He tells Jocasta that he has come from Corinth to tell Oedipus that his father, Polybus, is dead, and that Corinth wants Oedipus to come and rule there. Jocasta rejoices, convinced that since Polybus is dead from natural causes, the prophecy that Oedipus will murder his father is false. Oedipus arrives, hears the messenger’s news, and rejoices with Jocasta; king and queen concur that prophecies are worthless and the world is ruled by chance. However, Oedipus still fears the part of the prophecy that said he would sleep with his mother. The messenger says he can rid himself of that worry, because Polybus and his wife, Merope, are not really Oedipus’s natural parents.
The messenger explains that he used to be a shepherd years ago. One day, he found a baby on Mount Cithaeron, near Thebes. The baby had its ankles pinned together, and the former shepherd set them free. That baby was Oedipus, who still walks with a limp because of the injury to his ankles so long ago. When Oedipus inquires who left him in the woods on the mountain, the messenger replies that another shepherd, Laius’s servant, gave him baby Oedipus. At this, Jocasta turns sharply, seeming to sense some horrible revelation on the horizon.
Oedipus wants to find this shepherd, so he can find out who his natural parents are. Jocasta begs him to abandon his search immediately, but Oedipus is insistent. After screaming and pleading some more to no avail, Jocasta finally flees back into the palace. Oedipus dismisses her concerns as snobbish fears that he may be born of poor parents, and Oedipus and the Chorus rejoice at the possibility that they may soon know who his parents truly are.
The other shepherd, who turns out to be the same shepherd who witnessed Laius’s murder, comes onto the stage. The messenger identifies him as the man who gave him the young Oedipus. Oedipus interrogates the new arrival, asking who gave him the baby, but the shepherd refuses to talk. Finally, after Oedipus threatens him with torture, the shepherd answers that the baby came from the house of Laius. Questioned further, he answers that it was Laius’s child, and that Jocasta gave it to him to destroy because of a prophecy that the child would kill his parents. But instead, the shepherd gave him to the other shepherd, so that he might be raised as a prince in Corinth. Realizing who he is and who his parents are, Oedipus screams that he sees the truth, and flees back into the palace. The shepherd and the messenger slowly exit the stage.
Analysis
Sophocles makes the scene in which Oedipus and Jocasta learn that Polybus is dead seem strangely comic. Oedipus digests the news of Polybus’s death without showing the slightest sign of grief. The moment becomes, in fact, an occasion for near triumph, as Oedipus believes his doubts about prophecies have been confirmed. He is now convinced that prophecies are useless. He even says, “Polybus / packs [all the prophecies] off to sleep with him in hell!” (1062–1063). Oedipus’s strange glee reveals the extent to which he has withdrawn into himself after obtaining the knowledge that he killed his father. He and Jocasta rejoice in the smallest and most bizarre details in order to alleviate some of the guilt Oedipus feels (for another example, see Oedipus and Jocasta’s discussion at lines 938–951).
Oedipus’s own tenacity, however, means that he will not allow his understanding to remain incomplete. When he learns that there is still a piece of the puzzle left unsolved—the identity of the man from whom the messenger received the baby Oedipus—Oedipus seems irresistibly driven to ask questions until the whole truth is out. Thus, he gradually deprives himself of ambiguous details that could alleviate his guilt. Jocasta, of course, solves the riddle before Oedipus—she realizes she is his mother while he is still imagining himself to be the child of slaves. Oedipus must realize that something is amiss when Jocasta leaves the stage screaming, but his speech at lines 1183–1194 is strangely joyful. Chance, he says in this speech, is his mother, and the waxing and waning moon his brothers. Overwhelmed by an onslaught of new information, Oedipus re-envisions his earthly relationships as celestial ones as he announces his intent to uncover his true identity. It seems that he is unable to face directly the reality of his origins—reconceiving his identity allows him to feel a sense of control over it, but it also keeps that identity ambiguous. He basically identifies himself as someone who must search for his identity. Oedipus, who is famous for his skill at solving riddles, thus makes his own life into a riddle.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read this excerpt from The People Could Fly.
Nehemiah was a one who believed that if he must be a slave, he'd best be a smart one. No one who callin himself Master of Nehemiah had ever been able to make him work hard for nothin. Nehemiah would always have a funny lie to tell or he made some laughin remark whenever the so-called Master had a question or a scoldin.
Which best describes how Nehemiah survived being enslaved?
A. by using his wit to charm people
B. by using his wings to fly away
C. by using his intelligence to gain knowledge
D. by using his strength to overpower people
Answer:
The option that best describes how Nehemiah survived being enslaved is:
A. by using his wit to charm people.
Explanation:
"The People Could Fly" is a collection of folktales by author Virginia Hamilton. From the excerpt, we can tell Nehemiah is quite a witty man. Whenever he is about to be scolded, he uses his intelligence to charm his Master, making him laugh. This way, Nehemiah avoids much of the suffering inherent to his condition as a slave. He gets away with doing little and avoids punishment for that.

Select the piece of evidence that best supports this claim.
Answer: Choice A
Choice A goes over a negative aspect about wild animals, while choice B talks about a slight positive aspect in that certain animals can be kept as pets. The two don't really fit together.
In other words, choice A is saying "don't get a wild animal as a pet" while choice B does the opposite (more or less).
While it is true that you can keep some animals as pets, it's not a good idea as choice A mentions. Also, there's the fact that the animal may attack you or people you know if the animal is provoked (even then wild animals can attack seemingly at random). Lastly, there's the fact that wild animals prefer living outside with lots of room to roam around. They don't like being caged up and need to have a specific habitat and diet. All of these facts lean toward having wild animals as pets is a bad idea. This is especially true for large animals in which you'll need more resources to take care of them. A zoo is better equipped to handle the animals.

What is the synonym of compensation in this text.....A survey found that nearly half of the workers didn't negotiate the compensation at their current jobs. A faltering economy and years of layoffs made many employees avoid the negotiation process and simply accept the pay that was offered.
Answer:
"pay"
Explanation:
The word "compensation" has several meanings and one of them is "payment", which in addition to being a meaning can be a synonym for that word, since the two words are established in the sense of indicating a repair, compensation and remuneration offered as the payment, or as compensation for an activity performed.
In this case, we can affirm that the word "pay" shown in the text shown in the question above is a synonym for "compensation".
Why did Elie’s father not eat his evening meal of bread and margarine? (Night)
Answer:
Elie's father did not eat his even meal of bread and margarine because he gave it to Elie.
Explanation
Elie's father did not eat his evening meal of bread and margarine because his daughter Elie had gorged hers down very fast. it was too small to satsify her. The food or should I say ration was not much. It was not enough (as far as Elie was concerned) to give one a full stomach.
Elie's father had corrected her asking her not to do so as the next day was not even certain. His advice of course had come too late. Elies ration of bread and margarine was already in Elie's stomach. Knowing her condition and that She still wasn't full, he sacrificed his meal by giving it to Elie.

- Question -
A certain type of ship has two tanks in its engine. Each tank contains a different type of fuel. When the engine turns on, the same amount of energy is transferred out of both fuels as shown in the diagram below. Why did fuel 1 change phase, but fuel 2 stayed the same? Explain what happened to the molecules of both fuels.
Answer:
because the second can is its secondary fuel?
Explanation:
Answer:
Where we have that the phase temperature at which fuel 1 changes to liquid due to its low temperature after the energy transfer is reached, fuel 1 changes to liquid Where we have that the temperature of fuel 2 is still above its gas to liquid phase transition temperature, the fuel in fuel 2 will remain a gas. The kinetic energy of the individual molecules in fuel 1 is less than the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of fuel 1 in the liquid state such that fuel 1 molecules undergoes phase transformation from gas to liquid ,
The kinetic energy of the molecules in fuel 2 is higher than the fuel 2 liquid state intermolecular forces fuel 2 does not undergo phase transformation and remain a gas.

When revising your work, you want to make sure the terms on either
side of conjunctions are
a / Adjacent
b / Parallel
c / Congruent
d / Perpendicular
Answer:
C. Congruent
Explanation:
Congruent is a word used to describe a situation in which two things are harmonious and there characters or letters corresponds.
When revising your work, you want to make sure the terms on either side of conjunctions are congruent.
It is very important and essential to make an outline because it would aid in the planning and highlighting of your main points, organization of paragraphs as it should be without missing any information.
The new outline would be compared with the old outline or drafted materials so as to ensure all of the contents are included and all relevant informations are in the right place (terms on either side of conjunctions).
Hence, one reason for revising a literary work is to see whether you have included all the information in the right place.

Read the passage from Beowulf.
Beowulf, Ecgtheow’s son, replied:
"Well, friend Unferth, you have had your say
about Breca and me. But it was mostly beer
that was doing the talking. The truth is this:
when the going was heavy in those high waves,
I was the strongest swimmer of all.
We’d been children together and we grew up
daring ourselves to outdo each other,
boasting and urging each other to risk
our lives on the sea.
Now read Luka’s inference.
Even though he’s a warrior, Beowulf often uses diplomacy instead of rushing to anger and aggression.

Answer:
Conflict is’ normal in a group, but order and conformity is essential for group life. There is, therefore, need to regulate individual and group behaviour in the interest of social order.
