I say D.

Most of the excerpts have hints of comedic satire but the one answer that piques the satire format is the one focusing on the constant repeat of 'A picture!'

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

O They believed that the gods often punished people for acting badly.

Explanation:

Homer's epic narrative poem The Odyssey tells the journey of Odysseus from after the Battle of Troy and his journey back home to Ithaca. The whole book covers the decade long journey, along with numerous encounters with the gods and monsters alike.

The given excerpt from Book IX of the poem is when they were treated with great winds by Zeus after they attacked and killed the people of Cicons. Odysseus admits that from that point onwards, their journey was met with numerous natural obstacles that the god Zeus seemed to have sent to 'attack' them, punish them for their bad deeds. This event shows that the ancient Greeks believed that people were often punished by the gods for any bad acts or deeds they may have done.
