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.

Alex73 [517]

To make any plain sentence like the one given more "dazzling", the first thing that comes to mind is perhaps using stronger adjectives that call attention to an otherwise dull action such as a person walking down the street. Also we could reveal some detail about the character or what she's feeling or thinking in order to embed the sentence with more meaning. I'll give you an example:

<u>Sandra found herself profoundly submerged in the tediousness of her routine as she started walking across the street, without noticing the red light.</u>


Hope this helps!

An Open Boat by Alfred Noyes See - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,
 The cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,
 The literary device used in these lines is personification to give the foam a human quality.

Through the characterization of sea as humanistic, animalistic and deistic, Crane profoundly believes that the sea is indifferent to human’s plight. Narrator describes the development of sea as earlier it “snarls, hisses, and bucks like a bronco” and later it purely “paces to and fro,”. This depicts that the sea can be both hurtful and helpful, sea doesn’t change its motivation in the light of men’s struggle nor it can be understood.
