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. What key detail should be added to strengthen the student's paraphrasing of this 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>

Which choice should be placed in the blank to create the most positive connotation?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Extraordinary

Explanation:

The answer is <u>extraordinary</u> because out of all the other words, it it's more positive. Outlandish, strange, and unusual would put a negitive impact on the sentence.

<em>The aye-aye is one of the most </em><u><em>extraordinary</em></u><em> looking creatures on earth.</em>

Explain how the form of a Petrarchan sonnet affects the content and tone. Your answer should be at least ond hundred words
iragen [17]

Here is what i found on another website Not my work

I think that it is certainly true that Petrarch’s style and beauty ideal and his use of devices such as metaphor or paradox created a gate way for other writers to come through.The descriptive words of the exact feelings and emotions that he was experiencing for Laura allowed for his audience to feel as if they were going through all of the things that Petrarch went through.
