As far as I am concerned, the oracle was given to King Acrisius by his grandson Perseus, who was completely powerful man filled with strength as he was the son of Zeus. His mother Danae was supposed to put an end of King Acrisius’ life someday, but her Perseus a destiny to rescue the King. Do hope you still the answer because this one is definitely helpful.

The danger of that statement is subjecting yourself to fate and letting things go according to how it has unfolded to you - if things go really bad and will affect a lot of people, not only you, who's to blame but you and not fate? Very dangerous a thought.

What is the coast-guard’s initial opinion of the Geatland sailors? How does he react to their sudden arrival? Use evidence from

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1. The coast-guard thought of them as enemies or intruders. Evidence from the text to this was when he asked:

'Who are ye men here, mail-covered warriors,

Clad in your corslets, come thus a-driving

A high riding ship o'er the shoals of the waters,

And hither 'neath helmets have hied o'er the ocean?

I have been strand-guard, standing as warden,

Lest enemies ever anywise ravage

2. On seeing the Geatland warriors arrive the coastland, the coast-guard rose in suspense and boldness and moved quickly to question the sailors on what their mission to the Dane was. Evidence from the text to this is in the statement:

"High on his horse then, Hrothgar's retainer

Turned him to coastward, mightily brandished

His lance in his hands questioned with boldness"

Explanation:

1. From the poem, Beowulf, we learn of the moment when Beowulf arrived at the coastland. The initial opinion of the guard about the unexpected warriors was that they were enemies or intruders who have probably come to spy on the Dane Kingdom. That was why he first asked them:

'Who are ye men here, mail-covered warriors,

Clad in your corslets, come thus a-driving

A high riding ship o'er the shoals of the waters,

And hither 'neath helmets have hied o'er the ocean?

I have been strand-guard, standing as warden,

Lest enemies ever anywise ravage

2. On sighting them, the guard rose in suspense arming himself with some armaments and went on to question them on who they were and what they had come to do in the Kingdom. The pieces of evidence are in these lines:

"High on his horse then, Hrothgar's retainer

Turned him to coastward, mightily brandished

His lance in his hands questioned with boldness"

Which phrase can be changed when paraphrasing this text?

Full Question:

Read the excerpt from the building of manhattan.

It was a monumental task: to design the world's tallest building, create as much usable rental space as possible, plan so it could be built within 18 months, and still have a handsome building. in the end, architect william lamb worked on fifteen designs before his plan "k" was finally chosen.

Which phrase can be changed when paraphrasing this text?

A) within 18 months

B) plan ‘K’

C) handsome building

D) william lamb

Answer:

The correct answer is C) handsome building

Explanation:

To paraphrase means to put forward the definition of (something written or spoken) using alternate meanings to give it greater clarity.

In the sentence above, the phrase "handsome building" is murky.

The building (in this context) can only be "handsome" if after it is properly constructed according to sound and generally accepted engineering requirements without losing the original design and altering the projected cost, it still meets the contractors' expectations as the Worlds Tallest Building.

Afterall, he who pays the piper, calls the tune.

Note that the writer communicates challenges with constraints that threatened to force the alteration of the purpose of the building which is to have the Worlds Tallest Building.

There were the constraints of Time and Purpose.

So, a rephrased sentence would look like this:

It was a monumental task: to design the world's tallest building, create as much usable rental space as possible, plan so it could be built within 18 months, and still meet the objective of the Project Owner of becoming the Worlds Tallest Building. In the end, architect William Lamb worked on fifteen designs before his plan "K" was finally chosen.

Cheers!

nika2105 [10]

This particular scene, in which Brutus enters in his orchard, depicts the way Brutus speaks to the audience to give us access to his thoughts. Caesar is the maximum authority in Rome but the fact that Brutus thinks that "Th'abuse of greatness is when it disjoins Remorse from power" reflects that even a ruler, a good individual can be corrupted by ambition, as Brutus later suggests, and cause suffering to his people. The right option is the third one. The reference to cold-blooded reptiles implies great danger even on a bright day.
