The odyssey by homer muse, speak to me now of that resourceful man who wandered far and wide after ravaging the sacred citadel of troy. he came to see many people's cities, where he learned their customs, while on the sea his spirit suffered many torments, as he fought to save his life and lead his comrades home. but though he wanted to, he could not rescue them— they all died from their own stupidity, the fools. they feasted on the cattle of hyperion, god of the sun—that's why he snatched away their chance of getting home someday. so now, daughter of zeus, tell us his story, starting anywhere you wish. the other warriors, all those who had escaped being utterly destroyed, were now back safely home, facing no more dangers from battle or the sea. but odysseus, who longed to get back to his wife and reach his home, was being held in a hollow cave by that mighty nymph calypso, noble goddess, who wished to make odysseus her husband. but as the seasons came and went, the year arrived in which, according to what gods had once ordained, he was to get back to ithaca, his home— not that he would be free from troubles even there, among his family. the gods pitied odysseus, all except poseidon, who kept up his anger against godlike odysseus and did not relent until he reached his native land. 1. what do the words "god like" and "resourceful" reveal about odysseus? a. odysseus could be mistaken for a god. b. odysseus was a human being of great character who faced his problems. c. odysseus could turn anything into gold. d. odysseus was clever and cunning but not as great as he was supposed to be.

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
