Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves, in

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. Odysseus's home is Ithaca, a rocky island surrounded by other islands. Odysseus considers Ithaca a great place in which to grow up.

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>

The function g(d)=600−50d represents the number of gallons of water in a tank d days after the tank is filled. What does the val
Kitty [74]

Given that a function

g(d) = 600-50d

Here g is dependent variable and d independent variable

We have to interpret the term 50 in this situation.

g = 600-50d

600 represents the initial amount of water in the tank i.e. when d =0

Let us assume d changes by 1 day. say d+1

then new g = g' = 600-50(d+1) = 550-50d


i.e. whenever d increases by 1 unit, g decreases by 50 galons

Hence correct answer is

The volume of the tank decreases by 50 gal every day.
