Answer:

Odysseus does not want to reveal their only means of escape.

Explanation:

In the story Odysseus lies several times to the Cyclops, he lies about his name, he lies about what had happened, but in this case the question is why does he lie about what happened to his ship, so he lies about that because he didn´t want the cyclops that they had a way out of the island, so he couldn´t destroy their only means of escape.

Which claims are best supported by reasons and relevant evidence? Select two options. Children’s rooms are their own, and parent
ikadub [295]

The two claims that are best supported by reasons and relevant evidence are:

1) Exercising regularly will improve many aspects of one's life. Not only will you sleep better at night, but you will also learn better during the day and feel better in general. Many studies have shown the many benefits of regular exercise, and my doctor agrees with them.

This claim is supported by scientific evidence shown by studies and a professional opinion (although poorly presented).

2) Parents should teach their children financial responsibility early in life. Not only do children have expenses such as meals, snacks, and transportation, but they also need to learn how to realistically budget for their needs according to their income. This is an economic lesson that will prove invaluable when they grow up.

This claim is supported by real factual evidence (the expenses that most children have daily and the undeniable effect that learning this lesson will have in their future) .

Match the description to the word. 1. the information needed to understand a story complication 2. artificial ordering of events
motikmotik
1. the information needed to understand a story = exposition. 
Exposition refers to the author giving you some background details necessary for readers to understand what is going on in the story. Exposition is a fancy literary term for introduction to a story, which slowly leads the readers into the plot.

2. artificial ordering of events = plot.
Plot represents what is happening in the story - it refers to the events that occur throughout a novel, or a story. For example, the plot of Harry Potter is a boy going to a wizarding school in order to become powerful enough to defeat his enemy.

3. fictional person = character. 
A character is someone who is made up by an author in order to represent people in a novel or a story. For example, in Lord of the Rings, there are characters such as Frodo, Bilbo, Aragorn, Gandalf, etc who all appear in the book.

4. long prose narrative = novel.
A novel is a long narrative in the prose form. Prose is opposite of poetry, which means that it is written in a different way. Novels can be long or short (but definitely longer than a short story). Narrative means that there is something happening in it.

5. the catalyst that begins the major conflict = complication.
Complication refers to an event that complicates everything in a story. Usually this complication will lead to conflicts between characters which will have to be resolved throughout the story if the author wants to have such an ending.

6. partially established by the setting = mood.
Mood of a story refers to what feelings the author is trying to convey through the use of his word choice, setting, characters, events, etc. For example, in The Raven, by Poe, the mood is quite dark and dreary, as well as pessimistic and scary.

7. the turning point in the story that occurs when characters try to resolve the complication = climax.
Climax literally refers to the turning point - after that, the complication will either be resolved and all characters can finally be happy about it, or the opposite may happen - things may end in a very bad way. In Hamlet, for example, the complication ends with everyone dying. 

8. the set of events that bring the story to a close = resolution.
Resolution means that a lot of things happened throughout a story, but that everything is solved in the end and the story can finally be completed. Resolution means that there are no more conflicts because everything is resolved.

List nonverbal communication strategies that you would use in the following scenarios.
Elena-2011 [213]

Nonverbal communication strategies applied for the following situations:

1. <em>You want to impress a group of friends about your expertise in basketball.</em> In this case, I would imitate the movements by means of gestures and mimes so as to demonstrate my knowledge about this sport.

2. <em>You want to control a conversation in a classroom or club group discussion</em>. In this situation, I would try to make eye contact with the participants, to make gestures (nodding or shaking the head ) or facial expressions (smiling or frowning) so as to approve or disapprove a point for discussion. In addition, I would use my hands to point at someone, to control the talking time or to establish turn takings.

3. <em>You want to persuade a brother to loan you his portable CD player. </em>I would persuade him by joining my hands as praying (posture), making eye contact with him while pointing to the CD player and producing facial expressions as being sad and needy.

PART A: What does the word “witlessness” mean as it is used in paragraph 12? A. Compassion B. Stupidity C. Devoutness D. Repulsi
Artemon [7]

Answer: B. Stupidity

Explanation:

The question relates to the work of Friedrich Nietzche in his essay, "Morality as Anti-Nature".

In this essay he makes his disapproval of morality taught by Religion known as he posits that the fundamental thing wrong with morality is it's ties to Religion.

In paragraph 12, he speaks to how the Priest, a representation of the leadership of the church, has through his holy WITLESSNESS, has failed to be understanding and compassionate and as a result, they that are have found a way to utilize it ij their favor.

This infers that the Priest has been stupid to behave in the manner described meaning therefore that Witlessness here speaks to Stupidity.
