Click to read "The story of Icarus and Daedalus," by Ovid and "Musée des Beaux Arts," by W. H. Auden. Then answer the question. Which line(s) from the poem parallel(s) this portion of Ovid's myth?

Icarus, the boy, stood and watched, unaware that he was witnessing his downfall. Sometimes he ran to gather up the feathers which the wind had blown away, and then handled the wax and worked it over with his fingers, making it difficult for his father to work. When at last the work was done, Daedalus, waving his wings, found himself lifted upward and hung suspended, hovering in the air. He next made wings for his son, Icarus, and taught him to fly, as a bird tempts her young ones from the lofty nest into the air. When all was prepared for flight, he said “Icarus, my son, you must keep at a moderate height, for if you fly too low the damp air from the sea will clog your wings, and if you fly too high the heat from the sun will melt them. Keep near me and you will be safe.” While he gave these intersections and fitted the wings to his son’s shoulders, Daedalus’ face was met with tears, and his hands trembled.

A. the ploughman may / Have heard the heard the splash, the forsaken cry, / But for him it was not an important failure;
B. None of the lines of the poem focus on this part of the myth.
C. the expensive delicate ship that must have seen / Something amazing, a boy falling out the sky,
D. Everything turns away / Quite leisurely from the disaster

Which part of the story shows how kiara and tanya's differences affect their friendship? kiara and tanya were the best of friends. when they were 10 years old, they always went everywhere together. all their friends knew that if they found one of them, they would find the other. anyone who didn't know them thought that they were twins because both kiara and tanya had long, silky red hair and pale complexions. they were even similar in height and build. they were more like sisters than friends. but as similar as they were in appearance, they were just as different when it came to their personalities. this difference didn't affect their friendship, at least not for a long time. kiara always got out and participated in activities and competitions. tanya was happiest when reading a book at home. kiara was outgoing and talkative. tanya was quiet and shy. kiara was popular, and people were drawn to her because of her ability to make quick friends. tanya hardly had any friends besides kiara. as they grew older, kiara managed to make a large group of friends. tanya, on the other hand, still remained shy and reserved. this difference in their personalities eventually caused a rift between the two friends. tanya would refuse invitations to parties and movies that kiara invited her to. she just didn't want to hang out with people she didn't know that well. kiara couldn't understand why. she thought tanya disliked her friends. eventually, kiara and tanya both realized that they had outgrown one another. they still remained friends, but they were not as close as they once had been.
