Answer:

Menelaus most strongly affects the epic plot through his compelling speech.

Explanation:

It is common in epic narratives for a heroic figure to make an impactful, inspiring, and compelling speech. This is what Menelaus does in this section of the Iliad. Menelaus makes a strong and influential speech that catches the attention of every other character and puts Menelaus in a leading position. The impact of Menelaus's speech can be seen in the line "they all held their peace" by showing that all were quiet in respect to Menelaus's words.

Although the decision made by her was very difficult but it can be concluded that she had already decided and was content with her decision.

Why did Aristotle believe language should be plain, natural, and clear in persuasive speeches?
Minchanka [31]
The language must be appropriate to the audience and should use the terms that are most current and ordinary. Using fancy language is not ordinary, and any kind of unfamiliarity can be seen as suspicious.

Read the excerpt from Samuel Johnson's preface to A Dictionary of the English Language.
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>The excerpt suggests that Johnson’s work is significant because it reflects an exhaustive study of its words.
In the excerpt above, Johnson says that he used many methods in order to compile this dictionary - he read a lot of books, used his experience, and used many analogies for readers to connect words and their meanings on their own. A is incorrect because that's not the point of a dictionary; B is incorrect because he doesn't even mention other dictionaries; D is incorrect because a dictionary cannot only list obscure words.
