Answer:
Demodocus is a poet who often visits the court of Alcinous, king of the Phaeacians on the island of Scherie. During Odysseus' stay on Scherie, Demodocus performs three narrative songs.
Explanation:
Demodocus, whose name means "beloved of the people," has several important functions in book 8, not the least of which is that Demodocus gives us a clear picture of the importance of the bard in Bronze Age oral culture. In addition, his songs about Odysseus—and, more important, Odysseus's reaction to those songs—prompt the key question from Odysseus's Phaeacian host, King Alcinous: "Who are you?"
Which answer choice is the best definition for the word mortality as it is used in this sentence? The doctor was concerned about high mortality among those with the disease.
Answer:
The doctor was concerned about high mortality among those with the disease.
Explanation:
The word "mortality" refers to the state of death or the rate of death or the state of being mortal. This term generally signifies the state of being subjected to death or the nature of it.
In the sentence "[T]he doctor was concerned about high mortality among those with the disease", the use of the term "mortality" is correct. This is because as "mortality" refers to the state of death, the doctor's concern about the high death rate among the people is correct sentence construction.
The title of this novel is "Black Boy." What does his ironic use of the word "boy" signify about the way that black men were perceived at this time in American history?
Answer:
The blacks in America were deemed inferior and only seen as someone lesser, like a young boy among adults. Maybe, this is one reason why Wright uses the word "boy" in his title.
Explanation:
Richard Wright's memoir "Black Boy" presents the author's childhood and also growing up years as a black man in the American South. The book deals with themes of growing up, racism, family, and also a sense of trying to find his identity.
The use of the word "boy" in the title is ironic because Wright may be describing his childhood experiences but at the same time, the memoir covers well beyond his childhood years too. This may also have to do with his feeling of still being a kid despite being an adult.
Also important is how the blacks were perceived by the whites, the "superior" whites. Though same in all senses, blacks were hardly accepted by the whites as their own or equals, and more like inferior and lesser than them. This can also be one reason why Wright uses the word "boy", as a generalization of how his black people were perceived by the whites.

1. The cars come cruising up Broadway. 2. The cars are glittering. 3. The cars are low and rumbling. Which choice below is the most concise way to combine these three sentences? Select one: a. The cars that are rumbling and low, come cruising up Broadway. b. The low and rumbling cars are glittering and cruising up Broadway c. The low, glittering cars rumble and cruise up Broadway. d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.
Answer:
The most concise way to combine these three sentences is:
d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.
Explanation:
Concise means brief. That is, we are supposed to find a way to convey the same message as the original sentences but with few words.
First, we need to see what the sentences have in common, so that we can eliminate repetition. All three clearly speak of "the cars", so we can only mention that subject one. Sentences 2 and 3 use the verb "are" followed by characteristics of the cars. We can use those characteristics as adjectives, right before the subject, instead of as predicates. That way, we eliminate the excessive use of verbs in one sentence. That is precisely what letter D does:
d. Rumbling and low, the glittering cars come cruising up Broadway.

In "I Have a Dream," King refers to the promise of unalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence as "this sacred obligation." Later in the speech, he refers to the Declaration of Independence's famous phrase "all men are created equal" as a creed. Which answer choice best explains the effect King achieves by using the words sacred and creed?
The words convey the importance of liberty and equality to the American nation and all its citizens.
The words remind everyone in King's audience that he is a minister and therefore should be treated with respect.
.
The words emphasize the importance of the Declaration's text by equating it with the founding document of a religion
The words suggest that King believes his audience needs to be reminded of the wording of the Declaration of Independence.
The correct answer is The words emphasize the importance of the Declaration's text by equating it with the founding document of a religion
Explanation:
In "I Have a Dream" King connects the ideas of the Declaration of Independence about equality and freedom as essential or unalienable rights to religious ideas. This occurs as he uses terms such as "sacred obligation" or "creed" (faith). Moreover, this emphasizes King's main purpose in the speech because by stating unalienable rights are not only in the declaration but have a religious basis he shows how important is to guarantee everyone and especially African American basic rights. According to this, the correct answer is "The words emphasize the importance of the Declaration's text by equating it with the founding document of a religion ."

The author was trying to convey the apathetic attitude of the rich towards the workingman.

The wind that carried west from Ilium
brought me to Ismarus, on the far shore,
a strongpoint on the coast of Cicones.
I stormed that place and killed the men who fought.
Plunder we took, and we enslaved the women,
to make division, equal shares to all—
but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!
‘Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,
fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep they
butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,
feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running
to call to arms the main force of Cicones.
This was an army, trained to fight on horseback
or, where the ground required, on foot. They came
with dawn over that terrain like the leaves
and blades of spring. So doom appeared to us,
dark word of Zeus for us, our evil days.
My men stood up and made a fight of it—60
backed on the ships, with lances kept in play,
from bright morning through the blaze of noon
so holding our beach, although so far outnumbered;

Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priest-like task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,[xxii]
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

A Mr. Rodriguez, is one of the most popular teachers at my school, but he soon will move to Phoenix Arizona.
B. Mr. Rodriguez is one of the most popular teachers at my school, but he soon will move to Phoenix, Arizona.
c. Mr. Rodriguez is one of the most popular teachers at my school, but, he soon will move to Phoenix, Arizona
D. Mr. Rodriguez is one of the most popular teachers at my school but he soon will move to Phoenix Arizona.
Answer:
The revision of the sentence in which commas are used correctly is:
B. Mr. Rodriguez is one of the most popular teachers at my school, but he soon will move to Phoenix, Arizona.
Explanation:
The first thing we must keep in mind is that a comma should never separate a subject from its predicate, unless there is an appositive between them. The sentence we are analyzing here has no appositives, which allows us to eliminate letter A for, in it, the comma is placed between the subject and its predicate.
When we have two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, we should place a comma right before the conjunction. In this case, the coordinating conjunction is "but". That makes letter B the correct option. Letter C is incorrect because it uses another comma immediately after the conjunction. Finally, letter D is also incorrect because it uses no commas at all.

Just bc they arent failing doesnt mean they dont need help, people get tutors to insure they dont reach that level of failure.
The correct response is - False because People hire tutors to ensure they don't reach that degree of failure, so just because they aren't failing doesn't imply they don't need help.
What is failure?Failure may be thought of as the antithesis of success since it is the state or circumstance of failing to achieve a desired or intended goal. The standards for success vary on the situation and could be relevant to a certain observer or belief system.
Resilience is aided by failure in life. We grow more robust as we experience more failures. We need to understand resilience if we want to succeed greatly. Since we'll undoubtedly set ourselves up for a far more painful failure if we believe we'll succeed on the first try—or even the first few.
