Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows. "a tiger dies and leaves a skin. a man dies and leaves a name." this ancient chinese proverb illustrates the fundamental quality of man that distinguishes him from the animals—the power to thinkand reason. he can decide what his future will hold. in the molding and shaping of his life, man exerts an influence on all whom he encounters. he has the ability to choose the type of influence he will have. a tiger, unlike a man, has no control over either his environment or his destiny. though he is a majestic animal that prowls the jungle with pride and assurance, terrorizing both man and beast, his actions are governed only by the laws of nature. his death leaves the world unchanged; he exerts no lasting influence. when a man dies, however, he may continue to influence others through his accomplished goals and through the traits and ideas he has passed on. what pattern of organization does this paragraph follow?

a.)cause-effect
b.)comparison-contrast
c.)order of importance
d.)simple listing
e.)spatial order
f.)time order

With crack on crack of thunder, zeus let fly a bolt against the ship, a direct hit, so that she bucked, in reeking fumes of sulphur, and all the men were flung into the sea. they came up 'round the wreck, bobbing a while like petrels on the waves. no more seafaring homeward for these, no sweet day of return; the god had turned his face from them. –the odyssey, homer read the passage. then, identify the theme that is supported by the passage. most ships cannot survive a terrible thunderstorm. the ocean is an angry beast that will tame any who try to control it. the gods have the power to control human destiny. men are willing to die to eat the delicious cattle of the gods.
