In Sophocles's Greek tragedy Oedipus the King, Oedipus discovers that he has unknowingly killed his biological father and married his birth mother. The horror of this truth causes Jocasta, Oedipus’s wife/mother, to hang herself and Oedipus to stab himself in the eyes. What element of Greek tragedy do these final two acts give expression to?
A. catastrophe
B. hamartia
(C was removed for being wrong)
D. catharsis
E. hubris

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Catastrophe

Explanation:

In literature, the term catastrophe refers to the final resolution that brings the story to its end. When it comes to tragedies, the catastrophe often involves the downfall and death of the main character. In the case of Oedipus the King, the catastrophe is based on Oedipus' discovery that he married his own mother, which leads to her death and his self-mutilation.

Hamartia is the flaw that leads to the downfall of the tragedy's protagonist.

Catharsis is the purification and purgation of emotions that follows the observation of a tragedy.

Hubris is a characteristic of excessive confidence or arrogance. In Greek tragedies, this arrogance offends the gods and leads to a character's downfall.

Giant Squid
by Mary Heath

Giant squid live in waters off southern Australia. Zoologists at the Tasmanian Museum study the invertebrates. Giant squid are called colossal squid. Giant squid live in waters off New Zealand, too. Giant squid contain high levels of ammonia. Recently, a giant squid weighing 550 pounds was found on an Australian beach. The dead squid was 26 feet long from the tip of its body to the end of its tentacles. Giant squid are not common in other parts of the world. Although some people eat squid, scientists said the giant squid would not taste very good. People eat squid called calamari.

Which of these sentences should be added to the passage as a supporting detail?

A.Sharks and other marine life share the waters off southern Australia.

B.The giant squid was shorter than a train.

Colony Collapse Disorder


In 2006, beekeepers throughout the United States began to notice something new—and troubling. Adult honeybees, known as worker bees, were disappearing from their hives, seemingly abandoning them. Few or no dead bees were found in the hives. The queen and larvae were alive and well. However, the swarm of worker bees that usually attended them to keep them alive were gone. What had happened?


The event became so widespread that it soon received a name, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). There was no denying that CCD was a problem. After all, American farmers depend on the work of honeybees and other pollinators. At least three-quarters of the crops grown in the United States depend on honeybee pollination for their survival. These include such crops as strawberries, blueberries, apples, broccoli, asparagus, and almonds. Without them, both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.


But what is causing this problem? Scientists have thoroughly studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers. Sadly, nothing has shown to be the cause of the problem. The most likely culprits are disease-causing organisms. These have been found in larger numbers in colonies affected by CCD than in unaffected colonies. But these organisms have included various viruses and bacteria. Some were found in greater amounts in different parts of the country. If CCD is caused by a single disease, identifying that disease will be difficult.


The CCD outbreak is most likely the result of multiple causes—disease, poor diet, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss. Efforts to prevent colony loss have been mildly successful. The number lost has declined each year since 2008. But until a solution to this problem is found, CCD will remain a concern that will threaten the future of bees. It will also affect the people who rely on the food that they help produce.



What are the central ideas in "Colony Collapse Disorder"?


Select the two correct answers.



American agriculture depends on the honeybee for survival.


Greater concentrations of viruses and bacteria are responsible for CCD .


The CCD epidemic is most likely caused by multiple factors.


Strawberries, blueberries, and apples are pollinated by bees.

Use the abbreviation below to label the sentence pattern. S=subject V=verb IO=indirect object DO=direct object PA=predicate adjective PN=predicate noun Leroy swims at 3:00p.M. Every day.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Sentence pattern refers to the specific sentence construction pattern that is followed so as to form a meaningful sentence. The sentence pattern here is subject+verb.

In the given sentence, 'Leroy' is the subject and 'swims' is the verb.

There is no direct or indirect object in the sentence.

Here, 'Leroy' is the subject and 'swims at 3:00 P.M. everyday' is the predicate.

'Leroy' is the action performer. 'At' is the preposition and 'everyday' is the adverb.

Explanation:

Summary: Book 21

Penelope gets Odysseus’s bow out of the storeroom and announces that she will marry the suitor who can string it and then shoot an arrow through a line of twelve axes. Telemachus sets up the axes and then tries his own hand at the bow, but fails in his attempt to string it. The suitors warm and grease the bow to make it supple, but one by one they all try and fail.

Meanwhile, Odysseus follows Eumaeus and Philoetius outside. He assures himself of their loyalty and then reveals his identity to them by means of the scar on his foot. He promises to treat them as Telemachus’s brothers if they fight by his side against the suitors.

When Odysseus returns, Eurymachus has the bow. He feels disgraced that he cannot string it, because he knows that this failure proves his inferiority to Odysseus. Antinous suggests that they adjourn until the next day, when they can sacrifice to Apollo, the archer god, before trying again. Odysseus, still disguised, then asks for the bow. All of the suitors complain, fearing that he will succeed. Antinous ridicules Odysseus, saying that the wine has gone to his head and that he will bring disaster upon himself, just like the legendary drunken centaur Eurytion. Telemachus takes control and orders Eumaeus to give Odysseus the bow. Needless to say, Odysseus easily strings it and sends the first arrow he grabs whistling through all twelve axes.
