Answer: He noticed that the songs upset Odysseus.

When Odysseus is at the court of Alcinous, the king hosts a banquet and games in honor of his guest. At that banquet, the blind man Demodocus is invited, and he sings about the quarrel between Odysseus and Achilles at Troy. Although everyone seems to enjoy the song, Odysseus is upset because it brings painful memories of the past. The king notices this, and he decides to end the feast.

Proofread the following extracts and correct any errors in verb tenses.
blagie [28]
1- <span>The ancient Chinese board game “Go” is invented long before there was any writing to record its rules. A game from the impossibly distant past has now brought us closer to a moment that once seemed part of an impossibly distant future: a time when machines are cleverer than we are.

<u>Because it's an action that started and finished in the past, this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past)</u>

2- </span><span>For years, Go was considered the last redoubt against the march of computers. Machines might win at chess, draughts, Othello, three-dimensional noughts and crosses, Monopoly, bridge, and poker. Go, though, is different.

<u>This continues the same line of mistake as the first paragraph. Because it's referencing something that already happened ("Go was considered...), this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past).</u>

The game required intuition, strategising <u>and</u> character reading, along with vast numbers of moves and permutations. According to legend, it was invented by a Chinese emperor to teach his subjects balance and patience: qualities unique to human intelligence.

<u>The conjunction and is used before the last element in a list. In this case, this word should be substituted by a comma because <em>character reading</em> is not the last element on that list.</u>

3- </span><span>This week, though, a computer called Alpha Go <u>defeats</u> the world’s best player of Go. It did so by “ learning” the game, crunching through 30 million positions from recorded matches, reacting and anticipating. It <u>evolves</u> as a player and taught itself.

That single game of Go marks a milestone on the road to the “technological singularity”, the moment when artificial intelligence becomes capable of self-improvement and learns faster than humans can control or understand.</span><span>

<u>These should read defeated ... evolved. This continues the same line of thought on subject-verb agreement. If it's talking about a past event, and the rest of the paragraph sustains that idea, then these verbs should be in Simple Past.</u></span><span>

Which lines from The Importance of Being Earnest are epigrams? Check all that apply.
never [62]

<span>The epigrams from the Oscar Wilde’s play “The Importance of being Earnest” are first and last statement. Epigram is a brief, satiric, memorable statement which expresses an idea in an amusing way. Oscar Wild used epigrams to expose the hypocrisy of upper class from Victorian era. In the first statement ( "In married life three is company and two is none." (Algernon)) Wilde alludes that marriage is a business deal containing property, wealth, and status. In the last statement (“More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn’t read.”) Wilde makes fun of the whole Victorian idea of morality, strict codes of what people should and shouldn’t do.</span>
