Homer repeats this phrase several times throughout the Odyssey to emphasize <span>the proper etiquette of hospitality when hosting a guest. There is a didactic (educational/instructional) element to the Odyssey, and there are a few lines like this one in which Homer is demonstrating the proper formula for how to act in various situations. In this case, it was the proper etiquette for hospitality. The fact that the pitcher is gold is less important than the action itself.</span>

olga55 [171]

Answer:

b. She missed her plane.

Explanation:

At the start of the passage, we read that Karen was in a hurry. She drove really fast <em>"zoomed ahead and [.....] zagged past a motorbike"</em>. This is also supported by the use of the words "<em>darted</em>", "<em>whipping</em>", "<em>ran through the lot, up the escalator and into the terminal</em>". These words all show that she was in a hurry to be on time for her flight.

When she heard the final call for <em>"flight 205 to JFK"</em> and looked at the line for the security checkpoint, she knew she had no more time to get into the plane. So, she walked slowly to the customer service desk.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.

hodyreva [135]
B. They employ figurative language


Both of these excerpts engage the reader by making the text come alive. The first employs a metaphor when it says "<span>In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry". This metaphor is comparing the heritage in his friend's writing to a tortilla which then he extends into comparing to their souls.
The second piece employs imagery and personification when he describes "</span><span>the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head", showing that the trees are coming alive to show his friend that they are part of his heritage.</span>
