Read the excerpt from The Ancient City.

English
1 answer:
dezoksy [38]1 year ago
3 0

Answer:

The main idea of the paragraph is:

A. Many Greek towns held sporting events with similar games.

Explanation:

When writing a paragraph, we mention the main idea along the first lines and then develop and support that idea in the following lines. In the paragraph we are analyzing here, the author's main idea is expressed in the very first sentence, "The Panathenaic Games was only one of several great religious sporting events held in Greece." From that point on, the author mentions the other several games that were held in Greece. He/She does include minor facts such as the cities where they were held, who could participate, and what sort of differences there could be between them. But the main reason for mentioning all those games is to provide evidence and support to the main idea that the Panathenaic was only of several sporting events.

nalin [4]
Here is the full excerpt for this question:
<span>Again Rainsford lifted the heavy knocker, and let it fall. The door opened then, opened as suddenly as if it were on a spring, and Rainsford stood blinking in the river of glaring gold light that poured out. The first thing Rainsford's eyes discerned was the largest man Rainsford had ever seen—a gigantic creature, solidly made and black bearded to the waist. In his hand the man held a long-barreled revolver, and he was pointing it straight at Rainsford's heart

What is one universal theme illustrated by the character relationships in
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

D. People depend on each other.

Explanation:

Samuel Beckett's one act play "Endgame" tells of an absurd story of a blind protagonist and his power over the other characters who are also helpless in their own ways. This power dynamics among the characters, with the character of Hamm as the most supreme of the four, is evident in his constant need of help from Clov.

Throughout the play, we can see that Hamm depends on his servant Clov for whatever he needed to do. Meanwhile, Clov also have a sense of obligation to his master Hamm who had taken him in when he was alone. This subservient notion is numerously questioned by him but that did not overrun his feeling of obligation to Hamm. Also, the characters of Nagg and Nell shows the dependence of each other for their survival. The couple who re parents to Hamm also had to depend on their son, and Nagg constantly has to "kiss" Nell which seems to him the only thing that keeps him going. All these characters' relationships with one another shows the universal theme of a person depending on each other for their survival.
