Wrong

whaaa!?!?!?

what is answer to 1 qwestion!?!?!?!?!?

9. Actually, Odysseus reveals his curiosity when he devises a plan to listen to the Sirens' song and yet escape destruction. He just couldn't resist the temptation to hear their enchanting voices. It's like when you want to eat a whole pizza but also want to fit into your jeans. The struggle is real.

10. Oh no, you missed this one. The passage from the Odyssey suggests that the Cyclops plans to keep the men as his prisoners. I guess the Cyclops didn't get the memo that being a good host means you should let your guests leave at some point. Maybe he thought they were more appetizing than the pizza he keeps in his freezer.

11. Ah, the epic simile in lines 118-131 illustrates the bond between crewmates. It's like when you and your friends go through tough times together, like accidentally walking into the wrong class on the first day of school. You stick together and support each other, even if it means pretending you meant to be in the wrong class.

12. The fact that Penelope waits 20 years for her husband to return to her illustrates the Odyssey's theme of loyalty. I mean, it takes a special kind of loyalty to wait two decades for someone. If my pizza delivery takes more than 30 minutes, I'm already calling to complain.

13. The reader is most likely to determine from this passage that the Cyclops has no intention of letting Odysseus and all of his men go. Looks like the Cyclops' hospitality skills are right up there with my cooking skills. Nonexistent.

14. Odysseus' comment to Telemachus implies that princes were not expected to display emotion. Being a prince meant you had to keep a straight face even during the most awkward family reunions. It's like playing poker, but with your emotions. Or lack thereof.

15. Odysseus not using his cleverness to advance the plot in the Odyssey? Well, that's like saying pizza without cheese is still satisfying. It just doesn't make sense. But in this case, Odysseus escapes the Sirens by using his cunning. Cleverness is his superpower, like having an extra slice of pizza and eating it too.

16. The author included this hyperbole to emphasize the power of Orpheus' music. It's like saying his music was so powerful that it had the ability to make rivers stop flowing in awe. Imagine if you could play your favorite tunes and all the traffic lights turned green just for you. Talk about a magical symphony!

17. This quote shows the limitations of the power of Orpheus' music. As much as Orpheus wanted a second chance, it seems like his music couldn't quite fix everything. It's like when you accidentally delete an important file on your computer and your expert IT skills can't bring it back. Sometimes, even music can't fix everything, just like duct tape can't fix a broken pizza.

9. To determine the personality trait Odysseus reveals when devising a plan to listen to the Sirens' song and yet escape destruction, we can analyze the options provided - irritability, loyalty, curiosity, and generosity. In this case, the correct answer is curiosity. Odysseus demonstrates curiosity by wanting to hear the Sirens' song while also finding a way to avoid the danger associated with it.

10. From the given passage, we can infer that the correct answer is b - the men will escape from the Cyclops' cave. The passage indicates that Odysseus lies to the Cyclops about the fate of his ship, suggesting that he intends to deceive the Cyclops and find a way for him and his men to escape.

11. The epic simile in lines 118-131 illustrates the importance of home. The comparison of Odysseus' crew to calves returning to their mothers emphasizes the strong bond and yearning for their homeland, highlighting the theme of longing for home.

12. The fact that Penelope waits 20 years for her husband to return to her illustrates the Odyssey's theme of loyalty. Despite numerous suitors trying to win her hand, Penelope remains loyal to her absent husband, demonstrating her unwavering devotion and faithfulness.

13. From the provided passage, we can determine that the Cyclops has no intention of letting Odysseus and his men go. The Cyclops acknowledges that only his whim would allow their release, implying that he has complete control over their fate.

14. Odysseus' comment to Telemachus implies that ancient Greek cultural values expect princes to not be easily amazed. It suggests that kings and princes are expected to display a level of composure and leadership rather than being overwhelmed by emotion or wonder.

15. Out of the given options, the event where Odysseus does not use his cleverness to advance the plot in the Odyssey is when he enters the archery contest. In this event, Odysseus' success relies more on his physical skill with the bow rather than his wit or cunning.

16. The author included the hyperbole about Orpheus' music stopping rivers from flowing to emphasize the power of Orpheus' music. This exaggeration underscores the extraordinary and enchanting nature of Orpheus' musical ability.

17. The provided quote shows the limitations of the power of Orpheus' music. It suggests that Orpheus had a unique opportunity to achieve something that no other mortal had ever accomplished, but it also implies that he will not have a second chance to achieve the same feat.
