I'm sorry the answers i put are the ones that I am sure about. I put the question marks just in case I am wrong
1. In The Odyssey, the prophecy that Odysseus withholds from his men is option B- The sailors' adventure will last another ten years.
To arrive at this answer, you can refer to Book XII of The Odyssey. In this book, Odysseus and his men encounter the sorceress Circe. She tells Odysseus about his journey ahead and warns him of the dangers they will face. Among the prophecies she shares, one is that their adventure will last another ten years. However, Odysseus decides to withhold this information from his crew to prevent them from losing hope and possibly rebelling against him.
2. In The Odyssey, the action of Odysseus that is most characteristic of an epic hero is option C- He taunts Polyphemus after escaping from the Cyclops's cave.
To determine this, you can refer to Book IX of The Odyssey. In this book, Odysseus and his men encounter Polyphemus, the Cyclops. Odysseus successfully devises a plan to blind Polyphemus and escape from his cave. As they sail away, however, Odysseus cannot resist taunting Polyphemus, revealing his name and mocking him. This action is characteristic of an epic hero because it demonstrates Odysseus's bravery, hubris, and cleverness.
3. In The Odyssey, Telemachus executes the maids because they have option A- associated with the suitors.
To find this answer, refer to Book XXII of The Odyssey. In this book, after Odysseus returns to Ithaca and kills the suitors, Telemachus executes the maids who had been disloyal and associated with the suitors. Telemachus sees their involvement as a betrayal and a threat to his family and the kingdom. The execution serves as a symbol of his newfound power and determination to restore order.
4. The theme that is NOT present in The Odyssey is option B - the cost of ambition.
To determine this, you can consider the major themes found throughout the epic. The Odyssey explores themes such as loyalty to family and friends (option A), overcoming obstacles (option C), and the relationship between humans and gods (option D). However, the explicit theme of the cost of ambition is not central to The Odyssey's narrative.
5. The climax of Chapter 6 in Animal Farm occurs when option D- the windmill falls down.
To determine this, you can analyze the events of Chapter 6 in Animal Farm. In this chapter, the animals successfully complete the construction of the windmill, which represents their hope for a better future. However, during a storm, the windmill collapses due to the poor construction by the pigs and their allies. This event is the climactic moment of Chapter 6, as it signifies the failure of the animals' collective efforts and the manipulation of power by the ruling pigs.
Your answers are as follows:
1. B - The sailors' adventure will last another ten years.
2. C - He taunts Polyphemus after escaping from the Cyclops's cave.
3. A - They have associated with the suitors.
4. B - The cost of ambition.
5. D - The windmill falls down.
