The excerpt attached to the question above is given below:


Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey.

Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north

A storm against the ships, and driving veils of squall

moved down like night on land and sea.

The bows went plunging at the gust;

sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.

We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,

unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:

then two long days and nights we lay offshore.


ANSWER

The correct options is this: With cooperation, crew can defeat the gods.

From the above passage, we can see that, Zeus, the god of the cloud, set up storms against the crew men in order to kill them. But the men acted promptly and escaped to the nearest safety and stay there for two days without bothering to move at all, thus defeating the aim of the Zeus, the god of the cloud.

1- <span>The ancient Chinese board game “Go” is invented long before there was any writing to record its rules. A game from the impossibly distant past has now brought us closer to a moment that once seemed part of an impossibly distant future: a time when machines are cleverer than we are.

<u>Because it's an action that started and finished in the past, this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past)</u>

2- </span><span>For years, Go was considered the last redoubt against the march of computers. Machines might win at chess, draughts, Othello, three-dimensional noughts and crosses, Monopoly, bridge, and poker. Go, though, is different.

<u>This continues the same line of mistake as the first paragraph. Because it's referencing something that already happened ("Go was considered...), this should read </u><u>was</u><u> (Simple Past).</u>

The game required intuition, strategising <u>and</u> character reading, along with vast numbers of moves and permutations. According to legend, it was invented by a Chinese emperor to teach his subjects balance and patience: qualities unique to human intelligence.

<u>The conjunction and is used before the last element in a list. In this case, this word should be substituted by a comma because <em>character reading</em> is not the last element on that list.</u>

3- </span><span>This week, though, a computer called Alpha Go <u>defeats</u> the world’s best player of Go. It did so by “ learning” the game, crunching through 30 million positions from recorded matches, reacting and anticipating. It <u>evolves</u> as a player and taught itself.

That single game of Go marks a milestone on the road to the “technological singularity”, the moment when artificial intelligence becomes capable of self-improvement and learns faster than humans can control or understand.</span><span>

<u>These should read defeated ... evolved. This continues the same line of thought on subject-verb agreement. If it's talking about a past event, and the rest of the paragraph sustains that idea, then these verbs should be in Simple Past.</u></span><span>

What can the reader analyze in a magical realist story in order to discover it's theme?
timurjin [86]

In order to discover the theme of a magical realist story, the reader can analyze the recurring topics/issues characters talk about/struggle with.


An example of it can be found in Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera", which is a work of magical realism. The main character experiences unrequited love and never gives up. Throughout the whole book, the poor man keeps hoping his beloved one will some day give in to his advances. We can say the theme of this magical realist story is the invincible power of true love.


Another work by García Márquez (his most famous one), "100 years of Solitude", revolves around the Buendías, a family who lives in the fictional municipality of Macondo. It is another work of pure magical realism, since there is the rain that lasts for many years and also the woman who lives to be much more than 100 (really much more). It shows successive generations of the same family and also how certain characteristics can be inherited. The theme here is that of the relevance of kinship.

In this excerpt from The Life of Charlotte Brontë by Elizabeth Gaskell, what is the meaning of the underlined words?
pentagon [3]

The correct answers are the following.

In the excerpt of “The Life of Charlotte Bronte” by Elizabeth Gaskell, the meaning of the underlined words “sagacity” and “bestowing” are:  

In this excerpt, the word sagacity means intelligence, acuity.

In this excerpt, the word bestowing means grant, confer.

Sagacity/intelligence is used in the text to say that the Yorkshiremen have a dogged power of will that they have as a right of birth. Bestowing is used in the text to say that their skills are bestowed/granted because they rarely require the assistance of others.  

“The Life of Charlotte Bronte” was written by Elizabeth Gaskell in 1857. It is Bronte’s biography.
