Read the passage from The Odyssey - Penelope. Ruses serve my turn to draw the time out—first a close-grained web I had the happy

thought to set up weaving on my big loom in the hall. I said, that day: 'Young men—my suitors, now my lord is dead let me finish my weaving before I marry, or else my thread will have been spun in vain. It is a shroud I weave for Lord Laertes when cold Death comes to lay him on his bier. The country wives would hold me in dishonor if he, with all his fortune, lay unshrouded.' I reached their hearts that way, and they agreed. So every day I wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight I unwove it; and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians. Which line from the passage best shows that Penelope is clever? I had the happy thought to set up weaving The country wives would hold me in dishonor So every day I wove on the great loom and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians

“So everyday I wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight I unwove it; and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians” this shows she is clever because she promises to marry once she finishes the loom, but if she backtracks then she can hold off marrying.

Answer:

and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians.' Please correct this.

Explanation:

Penelope's aim was to decieve her suitors because she had the feeling that her husband, Odysseus , was alive. Odysseus had been away for long , at war, so there were suitors who wanted to marry Penelope and took over for Odysseus, the king of  Ithaca . So, Penelope's plan was to weave ; She would weave during the day a shroud  for Lord Laertes - a very long piece of cloth - but at night she would unweave it. In this way, the suitors would never stop waiting for her since she had told them she would marry one of them once the shroud was finished. This was what gave her the chance to decieve the suitors.

Write a short free verse poem describing the panda bear in the image.
Setler79 [48]

When the panda bear thinks about sleeping

His hunger begins to speak

For the food he thinks about leaving

But sleep forces him to stay


When eating, sleep weighs

In sleep, hunger awakens him

Eat and sleep and live


While he strife

In the movie of his life

The panda bear dances

And moves as he fancies

Lana71 [14]

The correct answer is D. A discussion of specific uses of alliteration .


When you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. Alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.
