What does this excerpt from book 21 of homer's odyssey reveal about ulysses’s wife, penelope? to whom the queen: "if fame engage your views, forbear those acts which infamy pursues; wrong and oppression no renown can raise; know, friend! that virtue is the path to praise. the stature of our guest, his port, his face, speak him descended from no vulgar race. to him the bow, as he desires, convey; and to his hand if phoebus give the day, hence, to reward his merit, be shall bear a two-edged falchion and a shining spear, embroider'd sandals, a rich cloak and vest, a safe conveyance to his port of rest." a. she knows that the beggar in disguise is ulysses, so she defends him. b. she is fair, impartial, and not affected by a person’s social status. c. she is clever and wants to make a good impression on her suitors. d. she thinks the beggar will be a distraction to keep her son safe from the suitors.

"everyday

use" was written by alice walker. this is a story about two sisters, dee

and maggie wanting to have the handmade quilt. maggie wants to use the thing

for its purpose, while dee appreciates it for being “her heritage”.   the quilt represents family heritage. it was

believed that only dedication and years of hard work can represent a  quilt. 

mama decided to give

the quilts to her less fortunate daughter, maggie because she believed that dee

could not hold the true meaning of their family heritage and   that she would not use the quilts for their

purpose. however, dee believed that maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as

how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use”

by maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag. in the story, dee strongly believed that maggie do not deserve the quilts.

the topic sentence in this paragraph is:

topic sentences writers stay on track and keep a paragraph from becoming an aimless collection of sentences about an idea.

which incidentally tells you what a topic sentence should be.

alliteration is the repetition of the same or similar consonants. having that in mind, i would say that the correct answer is: so shows a snowy dove trooping with crows.

i'm pretty sure i had this question the other day and b was the right answer.
