sight of other islands—Dulichium, Same, wooded Zacynthus—Ithaca being most lofty in that coastal sea, and northwest, while the rest lie east and south. A rocky isle, but good for a boy's training; I shall not see on earth a place more dear, Read a student's paraphrase of the excerpt.

Answer:

Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

Explanation:

<u>Paraphrasing is the act of restating any given statement or passage in one's own words and not using the words used in the original text.</u> This is used/ done to achieve more clarity and also to enable a different explanation of the same text.

In Homer's "The Odyssey", the story revolves around the journey of Odysseus and his men on their way back home to Ithaca. The paraphrase of the given passage by a student provides good detail about how Odysseus describes his home. But at the same time, <u>if the student added the detail about how Odysseus holds his home close to his heart (</u><em><u>"I shall not see on earth a place more dear"</u></em><u>), this will strengthen the paraphrase.</u>

Thus, the <u>key detail that should be added to strengthen the student's paraphrasing is the second option.</u>

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Based on the guidelines in the text, the best strategy for Opal is:

c) speaking to students who were recently accepted into the college Opal would like to attend.

Explanation:

Remember we are taking into consideration the notion that "one should not waste time compiling information if someone else has already done it." If Opal wants to research strategies to get accepted into her college of choice, the best thing she can do is talk to people who have already accomplished that same goal. Those people already know what to do, what strategy works for that specific college. By talking to them, Opal can adapt her own strategy to better suit that college.
