From what I've understood from the excerpt, the author wants to portray Elizabeth Van Lew's undercover attitude and skills in order to gather intelligence. In order for her to get inside the premises and spy, she must maintain a good act in order for the guards not to be suspicious. Therefore, the answer is A.
Sally threw her bike and ran towards the house. Her salty tears stained her cheeks as she was sobbing. She just managed to get away from the monsters, the people that tore her to the ground and punched her everyday. All she wanted was to go to the store to buy some groceries because her mom died when she was only 6 and her dad is a drunk mess. Her dad didn’t know about the bullies, Ericka and Everlyn, but she doubted he even cared. As she sprinted down the street, she heard the mimicking voices behind her.
is this enough? :)
Answer:
The culture in "Black Ships Before Troy" caused a hero to be seen as a traitor, while in "Heart of a Samurai" the culture almost prevented a hero from appearing.
Explanation:
"Black Ships Before Troy" presents a people with a culture very based on religion, where they believed that all the events that happened were due to the action of the gods. Good events were because the gods were happy, while bad events were caused by the wrath of the gods. In this case, when a hero tried to stop the horse sent to Troy and ended up dying before completing his mission, he was seen as a traitor who was rebuked by the gods.
In contrast, "Heart of a Samurai" shows how a boy who dreamed of being a samurai was prevented because his family was made up of fishermen and the culture said that young people should follow their parents' tragedy.
