Answer:

O They believed that the gods often punished people for  acting badly.

Explanation:

Homer's epic narrative poem <em>The Odyssey</em> tells the journey of Odysseus from after the Battle of Troy and his journey back home to Ithaca. The whole book covers the decade long journey, along with numerous encounters with the gods and monsters alike.

The given excerpt from Book IX of the poem is when they were treated with great winds by Zeus after they attacked and killed the people of Cicons. Odysseus admits that from that point onwards, their journey was met with numerous natural obstacles that the god Zeus seemed to have sent to 'attack' them, punish them for their bad deeds. <u>This event shows that the ancient Greeks believed that people were often punished by the gods for any bad acts or deeds they may have done. </u>

<span>Squire With him there was his son, a youthful squire, A lover and a lusty bachelor, With locks well curled, as if they'd laid in press. Some twenty years of age he was, I guess. In stature he was of an average length, Wondrously active, aye, and great of strength. He'd ridden sometime with the cavalry In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardy, And borne him well within that little space In hope to win thereby his lady's grace. Prinked out he was, as if he were a mead, All full of fresh-cut flowers white and red. Singing he was, or fluting, all the day; He was as fresh as is the month of May. Short was his gown, with sleeves both long and wide. Well could be sit on horse, and fairly ride. He could make songs and words thereto indite, Joust, and dance too, as well as sketch and write. So hot he loved that, while night told her tale, He slept no more than does a nightingale. Courteous he, and humble, willing and able, And carved before his father at the table.</span>

Answer:

The text's author uses analogical evidence. This kind of argument tries to make whatever it is being explained easier to understand, using comparisons between the object of the text and other object that shares some of it's similarities, but it's somehow more relatable to the reader. In the example, Eric Schlosser tries to explain how the McDonald's ovens work by it's appearance to that of commercial laundry presses.
