Sumatra, who is a high school senior, a cheerleader, and the class vice president, would be more likely to be positively predisposed to which of the following students?
a. andy, a sophomore computer geek
b. jamal, a senior captain of the football team and class treasurer
c. marika, a cellist in the school orchestra and a freshman
d. sandy, a freshman cheerleader who wants to be an auto mechanic

The answer is: b. Jamal, a senior captain of the football team and class treasurer.

Explanation:

The first and third option aren't possible as normally these would be the opposite; negatively predisposed, as their activities and due to this, personality, is very different. Sandy although is a cheerleader as well, is a freshman and "ages" here are very remarkable, so perhaps she would only be indiferent.  On the other hand, Jamal, who is a boy and shares similar activities as Sumatra, as well as age, for these reasons he is more likely to be positively predisposed.

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.
