15 pts pls help lol

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Ikemefuna comes to Umuofia early in the book, as settlement for a dispute with a nearby village. Not knowing what else to do with him, Okonkwo lets Ikemefuna live with his first wife. Ikemefuna quickly becomes a well-loved member of the family. He serves as a role model for Okonkwo’s eldest son, Nwoye, and over time he also earns Okonkwo’s respect. But more important than the role he plays in Okonkwo’s family is the effect his death has on the unfolding events of the novel. When the village elders decide the time has come to kill Ikemefuna and finally settle the dispute with the neighboring village, Okonkwo insists on taking part in the execution, despite the fact that the boy calls him “father.” Okonkwo ends up killing Ikemefuna himself out of fear that his failure to take responsibility would make him look weak. Ikefuma’s death irreversibly harms the relationship between Okonkwo and Nwoye. His death is also a bad omen that has a symbolic connection to Okonkwo’s later exile from Umuofia. In this sense, the death of Ikemefuna signals the start of things falling apart.

Choose the word that best fills-in the blank. He went into a long _______ about the outcome of the last election after it was mentioned on the news.a. assert
b. fastidious
c. rant
d. quibble

Answers

In order to be able to choose the correct answer, we must first understand all the options available and then gather the meaning in the sentence to best choose an option. To assert is to state that something is true, or right, sometimes in a very passionate and even agressive way. Fastidious talks about a behavior towards an event, or an action, so literally, being meticulous or methodical, also being very careful with something. To quibble means to try to avoid something by making use of words and rant means to talk, or make a statement, using emotions and showing excitement or passion about something. In this sentence, the person talked about is performing an action that results from the emotions generated by the outcome of the last election. This action is related to the verbal outpour of the emotions generated by the results and the only word that relates both to an action, verbalization of emotions and emotions themselves is C, rant.

He went into a long (c.rant) about the outcome of the last election after it was mentioned on the news.
Rant : to speak aggressively or passionately about something

Which sentence best summarizes this excerpt from Book 21 of the Odyssey?

Answers

Penelope takes Odysseus's bow down from its place of honor on the wall. She remembers how he obtained it as the payment for a debt from Iphitos from Lakedaimon.Don't worry—Homer tells you the story: Odysseus met Iphitos in Messene, where he (Odysseus) had come claiming the natives owed Ithaka for having stolen some sheep way back when. Iphitos was also there on the account of livestock; he was tracking some stray mares that apparently wandered to Messene themselves.But these mares ended up being the death of Iphitos, since he later wandered to the house of Herakles (Hercules), who promptly killed him so he could have the mares.The point is, Odysseus became friends with Iphitos; he gave him a sword and spear, and Iphitos in return gave him the bow that Penelope is now taking off the wall.Back to the Queen. She approaches the suitors and announces the contest and all its details, which we've already heard.Eumaios and Philoitios present the weapons and both break down in tears, since they know Penelope has given up hope that her husband will ever return.Antinoös mocks them for their sniveling, of course.Telemachos is the first to try stringing the bow, not because he wants to marry his mother (he'll leave that to this ancient Greek hero), but because he wants to prove his strength, manliness, and virility.After four tries, it looks like Telemachos is finally about to succeed—when beggar Odysseus signals for him not to do it. Convenient.Telemachos obeys and hands the bow over to the first suitor, who fails miserably.Antinoös orders Melanthios to build a fire and bring a cake of lard so that they can limber up the bow in the hopes of stringing it. (Cheating!)As he does, beggar Odysseus notices Eumaios and Philoitios leaving the hall. He rushes after them and reveals himself as Odysseus. As proof, he shows them his scar. Woohoo!In the meantime, Eurymachos has been shamed by the bow; he can't string it, either.To delay his own attempt, Antinoös distracts everyone's attention with the feast and says he'll try the bow tomorrow after they have eaten.Beggar Odysseus speaks up; he wants a chance at stringing the bow.The suitors, especially Antinoös, emphatically say no. They're afraid he can actually do it, since they saw his absolutely awesome body a few days before.Penelope scolds Antinoös and Eurymachos for treating the beggar so badly and invites him to give it a shot.Telemachos uncharacteristically steps forward and tells his mother that this is a man's affair and she ought to go upstairs and be a woman. Alone. In the bedroom.Incidentally, that's where ancient Greek women actually did spend a lot of their time.Penelope obeys, marveling at Telemachos's sudden bravery. Because there's nothing a mom likes better than being ordered around by her son.As the beggar takes his time feeling the bow, Telemachos tells Eurykleia to shut all the women in their rooms and tell them not to come out until summoned, even if they hear sounds of battle.As the beggar takes his time stringing the bow, the suitors shout insults at him……Until he successfully strings the bow in one easy motion, grabs an arrow and shoots it straight through the twelve axe heads.In the silence that follows, Zeus sends a sign of his favor—a single thunderclap.Telemachos arms himself and moves to stand next to his now unmasked father.Odysseus is back. Yeah!
